Muckross House, Gardens & Traditional Farms

Muckross House stands in the midst of a densely wooded area of the 10,000 acre Muckross Demesne. The mansion was built in 1843 and was designed by William Burns. The grounds of the house consist of well laid out flower gardens, rockeries, shrubberies and lawns extending out to grassland, stately pine woods, and lake-shore. The traditional farms will transport you back to a time in Ireland when family life was much simpler.

Torc Waterfall is about 100ft from cliff edge to river bed, and is watched by many with wonderous awe. The mountain, abounding in trees, shrubs and vegetation, contains the famous Torc Waterfall, caused by the swift turn west of the Torc River, and cascading down the mountain side in a great roaring torrent, and whirling into a fast flowing current through great rocks and boulders, reverting again to its normal river formation, winding its way down to the Muckross Lake.
