One of Killarney's most enchanting beauty spots, this lovely waterfall appears to tumble over a series of natural stone steps and is framed with lush ferns, moss, and branches of deciduous trees. According to legend this waterfall once ran not with water, but with whiskey instead. The Chieftain of the Fianna, Fionn MacCumhal, resided above the Cascade on Tomies Mountain. It was here that he kept his personal supply of the finest uisgebeatha. O'Sullivan of Tomies was lucky enough to share this delightful drop, being the only man bold enough to stand up to Fionn. Unfortunately when the Sassenagh invaded Ireland, O'Sullivan's Cascade took a turn for the worse. The whiskey changed into the pretty, if less potent, water we see today.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York! Experience New York At It's Finest!JustClickLocal.comAlaska – it’s HOT!
