Powerscourt Waterfall
Powerscourt Waterfall, Ireland's tallest waterfall, has attracted visitors to the bottom of the Wicklow Mountains for more than 200 years. See the stunning waters, which fall 121 m (398 ft). Explore the park's pathways, or enjoy a picnic and the nearby playground. Admire the beech, oak, larch, pine, and giant redwood trees, which were introduced to the region in the 18th century. Watch for wildlife, including native birds and the Sika Deer. The Powersourt Estate, a 13th-century home located 5 km (3 mi) from the site, owns the waterfall and its valley. The home is also open to the public. Take a look at our Enniskerry travel planner to schedule your visit to Powerscourt Waterfall and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon in January and spent an enjoyable couple of hours here. Very pleasant and well cared for woodlands and green areas, plus handy facilities like playground, toilets...

I don’t understand why this place has an entrance fee just to see the falls, possibly it gets crowded during summer days but it’s nature why an entrance fee? Mother Nature gave it for free. Anyway...

This place was a random search on Google when we planned on a trip on the spot. We hired a GoCar and reached the place in an hour. The roads towards the place was so beautiful. Bends and curves that makes you cruise down with a smile. The best view was after we parked our car and walked towards the view. The waterfall seen through two huge trees blew our mind. It felt like it was calling us towards it!! The landscape was so calm and peaceful to the eyes and mind. We were so lucky to spot the world's fastest Falcon through some of the loveliest bird spotters and their lenses. We trekked towards the bottom of the waterfall and sat there for hours. We lay dead and peaceful as we witnessed the beautiful waterfall. This was one of the best experience one could get for some peace of mind out of the everyday hassle. This was indeed an escape towards nature!

Powerscourt Waterfall is a natural and good place to visit with family and friends. It's a scenic place covered with mountain and trees with a great sound produces from the water fall. Really amazing and enjoyable. You can buy the meal from the shop here or can prepare live bar b q here. Children's playground is also there. Overall a very quiet and good place to relax.
