2 Best Sights in Ireland

One of the most inspiring sights to the writers and artists of the Romantic generation, the 400-foot Powerscourt Waterfall is the highest in Ireland or Britain.

You reach this roaring, 65-foot-high cascade by a footpath that begins in the parking lot outside the gates of the Muckross Park, 8 km (5 miles) south of Killarney. After your first view of the Torc, which will appear after about a 10-minute walk, it's worth the climb up a long flight of stone steps to the second, less-frequented clearing.
