View of Lough Leane from Tomies Wood

Highlight • Viewpoint

As you emerge out of the trees at Tomies Wood, you are treated with a stunning vista over Lough Leane and across to Killarney. Sit a while on the bench to take in the beauty of the lake, its shoreline and islands.

O'Sullivan's Cascade

Highlight • Waterfall

Deep in the oak trees of Tomies Wood flows the O'Sullivan Cascade. It was once whiskey that cascaded down the rocks, so the story goes. To some, it is more beautiful that Torc Waterfall. Either way, it is usually much quieter and accompanied by a loop of Tomies Wood and views across Lough Leane its definitely something special.

Tomies Wood

Highlight • Forest

On the banks of Lough Leane sits Tomies Wood, a mystical oak woodland with a carpet of moss and a network of streams bubbling down to the lake. The area is filled with nature and wildlife, including red and sika deer, red squirrels, pine martens, buzzards and white-tailed eagles.
