Lovely day out! Experience Ireland’s highest Waterfall at Powerscourt Estate.
Enjoy 121m of cascading water, set in beautiful parkland at the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. The Waterfall is a haven for wildlife including the Sika Deer and the native Irish red squirrel. Families can enjoy a picnic and explore the playground and short walking trails.

Just beyond Blessington is Poulaphouca Reservoir, officially Pollaphuca (from Irish: Poll a' Phúca, meaning 'the Púca's hole'),[1][2] is an active reservoir (for both water supply and electricity generation) and area of wild bird conservation in west County Wicklow, Ireland named after the Poulaphouca waterfall on its south-western end where the water exits the lake. The lake is also commonly known as the Blessington Lakes, even though there is just one.
