Fodor's Expert Review Poulaphouca Reservoir
Blessington
Body of Water
Known locally as the Blessington Lakes, Poulaphouca (pronounced "pool-a-fook-a") is a large, meandering reservoir that provides Dublin's water supply. You can drive around the entire perimeter of the artificial lake on minor roads; on its southern end lies Hollywood Glen, a particularly beautiful natural spot. The whole area is great for a walk or a picnic.
