Wow.

This is a beautiful park - perhaps among the most beautiful scenery we saw in the west of Ireland. The ability to hike it makes it even better. We were lucky enough to be there on a blue sky day in October - just stunning.

I haven't walked round the waterfall but I would say it's easy to spend at least half a day looking at the stone circles etc and walking by the falls. Enjoy if you go - it's a magical place.
