Woven with wild greenery and Gaelic legends, the Emerald Isle is one of Europe’s most prized jewels. Rugged Atlantic beaches and mystery-shrouded sites rub shoulders with the cosmopolitan cities of Belfast and Dublin, where literary history and warm Irish hospitality are always in abundance.

During a recent trip to the area, we walked in Glenbarrow three times. We did the red trail (about 11km) once and the blue trail (about 5k) twice. Both walks were really enjoyable and very well maintained. There are wooden planks down for a large portion of the walk to walk on which is really nice. There are three trails (orange, red and blue) all different lengths. All three go past the waterfall. The orange and red trail goes through the bog and has some gorgeous views.

Extensive and varied garden - the waterfall was not running when we visited, yes it's powered not natural! But the rest of the garden was plenty without it, a romantic valley full of ferns with a river and fairytale thatched cottage, woodland paths, and more formal areas with borders, carefully placed sculptures, a carp pool, and lichen-hung fruit trees. It's historical, rather than the most spectacular hyper-maintained planting. Also, most of it is not kind to aged grandparents or kids too young to do a bunch of stairs on their own. The valley is steep and mossy, that's part of the charm.

Excellent trip to the waterfall, lovely scenery and a nice place to visit so close to Killarney, everyone social distanced and we were lucky with the weather, such a great little stop on the ring of Kerry

The drive through the valley is worth the eye candy with the extraordinary mountains surrounding you, then to arrive at the car park lined with welcoming sheep and a magnificent lake. You feel like you are in a dream. A very short walk and some steps you see the breathtaking waterfall.

Lovely walk with beautiful scenery. Good car park and picnic area near the waterfall. Lots of steps. Difficult to take a dog on the lead.

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)

Located on side of narrow road close to Maghera caves this is a spectacular waterfall and you must spot for a look and a few pics if in area.
