M is for Mahon Falls



Mahon Falls

Mahon Falls is a waterfall nestled in the Comeragh Mountians. The waters of the Mahon River cascade down the steep rocky mountain face with great force. The river flows past the “Fairy Tree” and on into the area of the Atlantic called the Celtic Sea.

On entering the Mahon Valley, you will cross over a cattle grid and head down a small slope known as the Magic Road. The "Fairy Tree" is a few yards from the road. Stopping at the "Fairy Tree" if you turn off the engine of your car, it will travel backwards up the hill with no power. MAGIC!

The rugged terrain is a great favourite with hikers and hill walkers.

The Comeragh Mountains are a dramatic and varied range with boggy plateaus and rocky crags, dotted with sheep and goats. A panoramic view of the countryside below can be seen from the laybys along the drive of the Comeragh Trail.

The rugged beauty of the Comeragh Mountains is spectacular and tranquil splendor of the magical waterfall known as Mahon Falls, is Mother Nature at her best.
