| CASCADE OF DERRYCUNIGHY, KILLARNEY. -We have give, in another place, some account of this cascade, in connection with the picturesque cottage so well remembered by all who have visited the fair Killarney lake region. The falls are about thirty feet in height, broken at several points by the rugged rocks over which they foam and thunder, until their tumultuous waters empty themselves through the pass, which opens at "Colman's Eye" - a rocky cape that juts into the Upper Lake of Killarney and confines the passage to a very limited space. During nearly every season of the year, this beautiful cascade is bordered, and shaded by luxuriant foliage, which greatly adds to the attractions of the scene. In this section of "the Lakes," as they are commonly designated by the residents, the Irish red deer -one of the noblest of the beasts of the chase -is still to be found, and during the autumnal months, stag-hunts are of frequent occurrence. From the mountain which rises above the cascade, one of the grandest views of Killarney in its splendid entirety, is obtainable. The three lovely lakes and their grand surroundings are visible at a glance. Broad Europe affords no finer vista, if the testimony of the most experienced tourists of Great Britain can be relied on. |
