Powerscourt Waterfall, Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow
May 17th, 2008
Powerscourt waterfall, located in County Wicklow, is Irelands tallest waterfall. I dragged my two nephews along to see it for the first time today and the waterfall passed the PSP pounder test, in that they loved it!
The Waterfall is located in a park that offers parking, food and drink, toilets, benches and a playground. Admission is 5 euros for adults and 3.50 euros for children. There are plenty of walking routes around the park, some lead to the waterfall and others away.
The waterfall itself stands at nearly 400ft.. From a distance it appears as a white streak, as you get closer the water and its spray becomes more apparent. At is base is a rocky pool which can be stepped around. The stream of water leading away from the waterfall trickles its way around the rocks and along this stream is another well beaten track.
If you have never visited this location, I would strongly recommend it. The surrounding areas have lots to offer, even if only driving through. We stopped off at the Wicklow Gap, other places of notes along the route are Glendalough, Sugar Loaf mountain and Djouce mountain.
