Lakes and Waterfalls

The Wicklow Mountains contain a diverse range of glacial water features, including the 121-meter Powerscourt Waterfall, Ireland's second-highest cascade. This collection highlights the heart-shaped Lough Ouler and the dark waters of Lough Tay, known for its white sand beach. The list spans the monastic valley of Glendalough, home to the Poulanass Waterfall and Upper Lake, as well as the high-altitude corrie lakes of Lough Bray. These sites showcase the region's granite geology and historical associations with 6th-century monastic settlements.
