What can we say?!? A truly magical experience. Willie is so informative and passionate about his birds. He talked us through the whole process and made sure each of us was comfortable and all of the access that we wanted to the birds that day. We held owls, flew a Harris Hawk outdoors, and learned a lot about their care. It was a once in a lifetime experience!

Best to do thhis on a sunny day to get the most out of it. To complete the hike up over and down takes around 3 and half hours, can be a bit dangerous bit of climbing involved would advise to bring proper hiking boots or runners. Also bring water and food with you. Once you reach the top the views are amazing if your bringing kids i would advise not to climb fully up over and down as concentration is required. U can bring kids to the lake there thou.

8. Mahon Falls (a.k.a. Eas na Machan)

Reviewed By TarrenvdB - Ireland, null
The road leading to Mahon Falls is typically Irish: you desperately hope you don't meet anyone coming down the road towards you because it's so narrow!! The view is literally enough to turn an atheist agnostic. The Comeragh mountain tops are so high that the iuds were hiding them. There isn't a photograph that can do justice to the beauty and peace of the area. Some facts: 1) There is structured, free parking for visitors 2) Entry is free 3) It's in the mode of nowhere, so there's no toilets at the place 4) The pathway from the parking to the falls is longish, and very well maintained. Mostly wheelchair accessible 5) You can walk up the side of the falls too if you're fit and adventurous enough 6) There are lots of goats, and they leave lots of droppings all over the pathway 7) There's a bit of litter around as there're no dustbins anywhere. So if you're the litter pick up types, remember your picker, gloves and rubbish bag (to help people who's mammy didn't raise them right)
