Torc Mountain in Killarney National Park is one spot you have to visit in County Kerry. It overlooks one of Ireland’s most amazing national parks – a craggy background to the lakes and forests. Torc Waterfall, cascading at the base of the mountain, is perhaps better-known than the mountain itself. However if you venture beyond the waterfall, you’re in for a reward. Treking the Torc Mountain path is enjoyable and rejuvenating and it just takes a few hours.
