Beautiful area, well worth a visit. Mountain walks, hidden parks and forests, its a good day out. Can get very cold up there and the roads ice up easily. Not a great idea to stay after dark if in winter. Summer no issues. Plenty of parking, outstanding views.
Gorgeous place to visit! The views were breathtaking and the road to Mahon Falls was so scenic. We got lucky and there were barely any other people there when we visited so it felt like we had this little oasis to ourselves. The sheep were roaming freely and it was such a peaceful spot!
Visited Mahon falls right after a rainy day, please check weather before planning the day. Drive up the mountain to park and walk (it definitely wasn’t a 20 minute walk) it took upto 30-40 minutes upto the falls, you’d be rewarded with the most amazing 180 degree views of the landscape. Wear sturdy hiking boots or trekking shoes. Bring a snack or two, rest on the huge rocks have a hot cuppa and soak in the views as long as the mighty weather is kind enough. We had a lucky day with less wind and sunshine the first half of the day. One can spend about 2-3 hours and more. Listening to the flowing river Mahon was an experience by itself. Lamb spotting too
Beautiful place. The views are amazing. The place has a carpark. If you'll go upper the car park, you will find the lake. Please wear tracking boots !
Nice short walk/hike. Impressive scenery which shows of the beauty of Ireland. A lot of people, Groups, Families. Dogs allowed on leash.
