The Mare's Tail

The Mare's Tail, Ireland's tallest waterfall, is near the summit of this mountain. The waters eventually drain into Adrigole harbor after rising from the Coomadavallig and Coomarkane lakes and flowing down the Coomgira Valley. Mare's Tail is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Ireland.

The Mare's Tail is less accessible than many of the other waterfalls on this list. It will be a three-hour hike through difficult terrain. However, there is a simpler option if you don't mind not getting up close to the falls: simply take in the wonderful view of the cascade at the base of the slope.

The Beara Way, a route that features the best of the Beara Peninsula, includes all of this. Even though it is 138 km long, it is a strong contender for Ireland's best bike ride.

You will need to leave your bike behind and start walking into the hills if you are bicycling the route and want to stop at the falls. Don't miss the stunning Healy Pass, which is only 10 kilometers away, cyclists.
