Absolutely stunning. We have some Beautiful places here in Britain, but Ireland is just as picturesque and the landowner giving him permission to go and explore is typical of Irish hospitality, they are among the most warm and genuine people you will ever meet, both north and south of the border. Thanks Steve 👍
Ireland is more scenic according to most rankings also it's each individual country so like Wales, England and Scotland are normally individually ranked from what I've seen, Switzerland is still the goat though the scenery there and Italy is next level beautiful
@@gregorytreacy7085 there's a beautiful place in the uk just of Cornwall called the Isle of scilly .. iv been to Ireland meny times funfair The name Dublin comes from Dubh Linn or the "black pool 😊
@@TheRealRedAce You couldn't be more wrong. Northern Ireland is part of The UK. The republic of Ireland ( Eire ) is a country in it's own right, they have their own currency, their own Passport, their own Language and their own Government.
There is a small lake inside the mountain In Wales Betws coed the water is deep and ice cold it's very blue .sadly the tunnel in the mountain has been closed off to the public and it is no longer possible for visitors to gain access to the lake.
Just thought you might like to know, seedlings from the Sycamore Tree felled illegally not long ago, have started to grow. There is a video on the BBC that shows a time lapse of them coming through the soil. 😀
Theres a great video called 5 days in Englands stuning lake district , waterfalls , hiking food. The lake district is about 30 minutes from where i live and used to go every weekend..stunning scenery.
There is a map/route you can take called The Wild Atlantic Way which includes Beara peninsula. It covers the whole west side of Ireland if you want to see more😊
I didn't know about this place. It is amazing you're right! I think you found your new home address! Regarding the voice, I hear you Steve. It's coming back !
My father was from Ireland, County Clare to be somewhat specific, I have visited so many times over the last 60 years to visit family and also to tour around the island, I really can't be bothered with air travel any more so touring around the UK and Ireland is more than enough now and the ferry services across the Irish Sea are excellent.
It is breath-taking, all of the mountainous areas of the UK and Ireland have that similar look and feel, I live in Snowdonia in North Wales which is just like this too, I love it and am an avid fell runner (from the old Norse 'fjall' meaning a high, barren and mountainous landscape) and wild camper so spend as much time as I can up in the mountains, the solitude and beauty recharges my batteries.
This video had me checking maps, there's a trail up the mountain behind the lake where you could drop down to the lake from, like always on steep terrain like that it just calls for a longer hike getting up and around the steep ground, also we have a very specific type of mountain shoe which is popular in the UK and Scandinavia which I use in areas like this called fell shoes, unlike your average hiking boots or approach shoes they have studded soles so grip much better on this type of steep grassy terrain, they usually have very grippy rubber for the rocky sections too.
Wouldn't be as high snowdonia but the land is very sculpted and rugged and hardly anyone lives there,the whole of the beara peninsula which is about 200 sq miles has only 6000 people.The valleys are called glens but some of them are cooms which is an ancient welsh influence.
@@gallowglass2630 It's already piqued my interest enough to start thinking about a visit, some of my favourite areas in Snowdonia are the quieter ones where the tourists rarely tread, and there's some stunning lower mountains too, some of my favourites are in the 2000ft mark.
@@reactingtomyroots You should check out some videos on fell running, it's a very specific type of mountain racing quite unique to the UK, theirs a beautifully shot one called 'Dragon's Back Race 2012' which shows the Welsh mountains in all their glory, the race starts where I live.
Sruth in Aghaidh an Aird (Irish for "stream against the height"), sometimes called The Devil's Chimney, is Ireland's highest waterfall, with a height of 150 metres (490 ft). It is in the Dartry Mountains in the west of Ireland, marking part of the border between County Sligo and County Leitrim
Stunning waterfall and rock formation. As Steve said a feeling of isolation but in a good way. Would love to taste that water, bet its pure. Could happily sit there listening to the water. Many years ago I climbed up the side of a mountain in Austria in their lakes and mountains area and tasted the water coming down the rocks, most pure water ever tasted.
There's a Grey Mare's Tail waterfall in the Southern Uplands of Scotland near Moffat, and another one in Snowdonia in Wales. A lot of these old names are descriptive of how the waterfall looks. In the Lake District there are several Sour Milk Gills, for instance.
You'd love High Force in "Middleton In Teesdale" (England) ... close by we have Low Force and also Cauldrons Snout (which is apparently the LONGEST waterfall in the UK)
If you like waterfalls may I recommend the Krimml waterfalls in Austria, with a tiered drop totalling 380m (1,247ft). It's abit larger than the fall in the video. I worked for 6 months in Austria as a tour guide and would heartily recommend looking into those falls as they truly are beautiful!
@@MarkmanOTW I did a guided walk up them each week but it was the highlight of my week, most of the guided walks I did were aroun Sankt Johann or Kitzbuhel (which are both very beautiful themselves but get a bit 'samey' after 6 months so getting away to see the falls was kind of a midweek refresher for me. My old manager even noted that while doing those walks I had "more pep in my step" doing the Krimml ones
@@rogu3rooster That's great! I remember St Johann and Kitzbuhel, staying there in in the mid 1990s - great holiday. I remember how invigorating the waterfalls were - the intensity of the noise, and of course the profuse density of ions. 😊
One of my boys moved back to Ireland over this last Christmas and New Year. My Dads' ashes are there, scattered on his favourite mountain. I was worried about my son having an Irish name with an English accent, but, my fears were unnecessary. It's all good.
You should check out Conor Pass, in Kerry. On a sunny day, it is my favourite place on earth. (THRILLING car ride as well - narrow winding road, 1 car width)
You should check out the ones in Yorkshire, Hardraw Force is my favourite, the lake is at the bottom and you can swim in it. Janets Foss and Aysgarth falls are two more good ones.
High force is a pretty cool waterfall on the border of North Yorkshire and Durham- can’t remember which country it is in- I think Durham but don’t quote me on that! Used to go there as a kid
You are such a beautiful couple ❤. I live in North Wales. A place called Llandudno. It is beautiful, by the sea and lots of mountains. Not far from beautiful Conwy. I feel very blessed. I always look forward to your videos.
& you're blessed with the Great Orme with Britain's only Cable Tramway to the Top, & Some very mischievous Queen Victoria's herd of Afgan Goats that when visitors are not around in Winter Invade the town & endeavour to eat everyone's front garden ?? It's a Beautiful Victorian town that at Whitsun hold a Victorian extravaganza that includes a funfare & a weekend of Classic Vehicles Cars,Lorries, Busses,& Vintage Tracksion Engines & Tractors !! & Accesable byTrain.
@@normanwallace7658 Talking of the Great Orme, why are the Bronze Age Copper Mines not more publicised? I'm sure a lot of people visit Llandudno without knowing of their existence and it's so fascinating to be able to explore the mines and talk to the archaeologists there.
@@reactingtomyroots The land beyond the fence is probably commonage used by several farmers whereas the fields are probably the farmers own land ,i mean he is an owner of the commonage but not the sole owner and he paints his sheep with his colours so he can distinguish them from the other farmers sheep.

To give you some perspective of how high 1150 feet is, it's not quite as high as the Empire State Building, but it's higher than the Chrysler Building. By the way, lakes like that at the top of mountains are called tarns. Another place in the British isles which as amazing waterfalls is the coast of Devon and Cornwall in southwest England. The Speke's Mill Mouth waterfall in particular is wonderful.
Eas a' Chual Aluinn in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, is the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom with a sheer drop of 200 m. At full flow, is nearly four times taller than Niagara Falls. The waterfall can be reached by a 6-mile walk across boggy ground from the road 3 mi south of Kylesku in Sutherland. In good weather, a boat-trip runs from the slipway by the Kylesku Hotel to Loch Beag, from where the waterfall is visible
I enjoyed watching your enjoyment all those rocks lower down Are rocks pushed around by glaciers in the ice age Nearly 200 hundred miles Otho up the west coast have a look at Dingle the Eddifords waterfalls. theSkelligs. The Burren cliffs of good luck to you both and America
i was never there myself but its seems to be the other side of hungry hill mountain and you can hike to the lake but from reading its not far the faint hearted.There was actually a movie and novel called hungry hill set in that area
The landscape is typical of Europe your welcome to the moss on my roof if you love moss 😀This is similar to my region in France and my family home in Tenby Wales.The best waterfalls are in Iceland are the most powerful in Europe, This is such pure water as on the way down its filtered through the rocks. The top of the water fall is starting from a Volcano left over from the Ice Age, Merci Jean-Marc
We have one waterfall I've seen in Britain which was like the Niagara Falls, but remember that the power of any waterfall is entirely dependant on the seasonal rain. When you come over (presumably at the height of summer) it's less likely you'll get to see such spectacles.
Hi ,i love your enthusiasm for uk .i live close to the north Yorkshire moors national Park and its beautiful see if you can find a video of the area you won't be disappointed.
1150ft would be nearly to the top of the second section of the Sears/Willis Tower or just below the superstructure of the Empire State Building! Thats massive!!
I've fished in a few lakes up around Cavan and no problem with the farmers, they just tell you to work away as long as you close the garages after you.
The British Isles were covered everywhere with trees, they say you could travel from London to Yorkshire without leaving the cover of trees, and then they started chopping them down, in the highlands of the British Isles and working it's way down to the low grounds before they realised they were short of wood and that's when they started planting fast growing pine trees over the high lands but at this time most of the grounds in many places turned to bog lands and not suitable for planting pine trees.
Actually, Northumberland was 75% covered by forest but , well, humans encroached. However, we do have the largest, managed forest in Europe, Keilder forest which stretches along Keilder Water and the Northumberland/Scottish border , it's a wild, beautiful area also has an Observation Centre as it's a National Park & Dark Sky park
As the video says, this is on private land with access only on the landowners permission, a legacy of the unfortunate history of Ireland being for some hundreds of years a colony, and consequently land owners rights took priority to an even greater extent than in the rest of the UK, where ancient privileges to some extent endured. With proper access you can visit in the Brecons in Wales the 'Four Waterfalls walk' where: ' The 4 Waterfalls Walk is around 4.5 mile. However, depending on which point you decide to start, the route will vary slightly in length.' And then there is 'Sgwd Gwladys, Pontneddfechan' where you can actually walk behind the waterfall.
On the '4 waterfalls route' you can also walk behind Sgwd yr Eira, apologies for the omission, as my mobility is now somewhat limited, so I am not up to speed on these wonderful dream facilities. But if you can, do it.
You said the rest of the Uk ireland is not in the UK i think its a freudian slip on your part in fairness .The land up to the waterfall before the electric fence would be xolely owned by one farmer but the rest would be owned by several farmers including the said farmer in whats called a commonage
@@gallowglass2630 Fair shout. I was thinking of Northern Ireland, which like Eire have relartively restricted rights to access to lands, which AFAIK are a legacy which both have in common of colonialism, whilst traditional rights obtained in England and Wales. Scotland is even more fortunate in having a right of access to land, but only after the lairds kicked much of the peasantry off the land and forced emigration subsequent on Bonnie Prince Charley's defeat and so on.
@@davidmartin3947 Its all to with the land rights campaign in ireland in the late 19th century which resulted in the breakup of estates.This effected the north too as the island wasn't partitioned.The Irish land league hadv a branch in scotland but bit never got off the ground which is why you still have large tracts of land owned by very people
Have you heard of the Scilly Isles off the south coast of England,its an archipelago of Islands the UK'S sort of Tropical Island's,its a lovely place,they have what they call trust boxes scattered about were you can buy things and just leave the money in the box,if you hire bikes to ride about the Islands they don't give you a lock because they say nobody will steal anything,just watched a video on it, I think you will like it. ❤
Eas á Chual Aluin - Britains highest waterfall. Eas a' Chual Aluinn in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, is the highest waterfall in the United Kingdom with a sheer drop of 658 ft (200 m). When in full flow it is over three times higher than Niagara Falls
I've just looked the waterfall up on Google Satellite images- and there are no buildings, roads or obvious paths anywhere near the lake and the waterfall. It is literally miles from anywhere. A fit and experienced hiker could get up there- but it would be a long slog - and apparently it's on privately owned land, so you'd also need permission.
there are a couple of reasons why the farmer hasn't opened it up to the public. firstly you would need to pass through gates/fields where livestock may be being kept. secondly, he would probably need insurance incase anyone fell or twisted an ankle while on his property.
I hate to be 'that guy' but - the Mare's Tail is not where the map shows on screen at 1:00, but ten miles to the north-east. According to the contours on Googlemaps the top of the waterfall is at around 350m, but the bottom is at 80-100m, so nearer 250m than 350. Still high, and a fantastic piece of scenery.
Thanks, now I have been able to find it on an old map. "1150 ft" is the height of the lough above sea-level, but as you said the bottom is about 300 ft above sea-level, so 850 ft (= 260 m).
Im not being weird but i love you two i thourly enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful sofia im from staffordshire uk and agree with you that this is stunning xx
Hi Steve & Lindsey, I know you like to see beautiful places, well one place that very few people outside of the British Islands have ever heard of are 'The Isles of Scilly' .. (NOT the Silly Isles 😡). They are a collection of more than 140 Islands about 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Only 5 of the Islands are inhabited, the largest is St.Mary's (Capital is Hugh Town) Tresco, Bryher (the prettiest), St.Martin's and St.Agnes. The population is around 2,300. It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. A shout out to 'When Adventures Knox' -- Isles of Scilly Adventures + Must see attractions -- Top 10. You will absolutely Love it, and it's part of England 🙂
The Devil's Chimney in the same general area has a larger unbroken drop, around 150m without any break. Not quite the highest in the British Isles as there's a Scottish one already mentioned in the comments that is larger but definitely impressive.
To put this waterfall into perspective, the largest waterfall on the biggest island of the Brtish Isles (not to be confused with the United Kingdom) is in Scotland & is Eas a' Chual Aluinn and is magnificent but only 638ft in comparison. This one is , or has been, vitually unknown simply because it IS privately owned...this photographer may have started something the landowner lives to regret 🤔 (just maybe...wait till the Irish Tourist Board get a load of that!)😅
Not having it a county cork waterfall is not higher than a county sligo waterfall .I am from county sligo and we have the highest recorded waterfall called the devils chimney which doesn't always flow but because sligo is probably the wettest part of ireland so its often flowing. Joking aside i did query the photographer at the time,but as the powerscourt waterfall which flows continuously attracts tourists and to a lesser extent the sligo waterfall these will still be listed as the highest whereas this waterfall is not very accessible and the farmers wouldn't want large numbers like that on there land when i say farmers that land is commonage may be not where the man entered but the rest of the land would be have several farmers grazing there sheep.
Tallest UNBROKEN waterfall "Hardraw Force Comprising a single drop of 100 feet (30 m) from a rocky overhang, Hardraw Force is claimed to be England's highest unbroken waterfall - at least discounting underground falls. The underground waterfall inside nearby Gaping Gill on the western flank of Ingleborough has an unbroken fall of more than 300 feet (91 m)."
Been fortunate enough to see a fair amount of mainland Britain and have always been interested in visiting Ireland but never knew this stunning place existed. Thanks guys great video again
Hate to have to burst an Americans bubble but this completely factually impossible, our highest mountain is carrountoohill which is 1083 feet so it's metaphysically impossible a waterfall exists that size in Ireland of 1150 feet. The devil's chimney near glencar is our tallest albeit seasonally, our actual tallest year rounder is powerscourt in wicklow. Big thank you from Ireland also, your posting doing far too many British videos please do more irish ones, namely wicklow or there were you tubers who did all 43 long distance trails in Ireland you need to check them out, maybe one of your next videos could be glendalough and the wicklow way that'd be amazing. Great video though your passion for my country is evident and I appreciate that
@@gregorytreacy7085 i was going to say something before you corrected yourself but being a sligo man i was a bit sceptical however it looks a waterfall and its the back end of hungry hill so its very plausible.
@@peterholmes3011because the UK and Ireland are part of an archipelago of geologically connected islands. Whether we call this the British isles or, mindful of the colonial history, the Atlantic archipelago, or, as here, simply UK and Ireland, these islands are geologically similar. This means they have a shared a tectonic path over the last 500 million years or so and so geologically they constitute a useful collective point of comparison in the same way that a video of the highest waterfall in Spain and Portugal is relevant because of the shared geological history of the Iberian Peninsula. If there was a tectonic plate boundary down the Irish Sea and across the border between Ireland and northern Ireland I would agree geological collective terms, and comparisons, are less relevant but that is not the case.
We have lots of cool places like this in Ireland 🇮🇪
I'm in Wales, but Irish grandparents, and Ireland calls to my soul.
I’m Irish and you can access mostly everywhere in Ireland , land owners let you on the land but behave and mindful

Ireland is in Britain. Britain is a group of islands, not a nation. There are two nations in it - The United Kingdom and the Irish Republic.

The REPUBLIC OF Ireland is not in Britian you ham!!! @@TheRealRedAce
You should definitely look into the Giant's Causeway - a very unique geological formation on the Irish coast that's inspired lots of myth and legends
Yes the giants causeway is worth a look
There is a small lake inside the mountain In Wales Betws coed the water is deep and ice cold it's very blue .sadly the tunnel in the mountain has been closed off to the public and it is no longer possible for visitors to gain access to the lake.
Leave nothing but footprints, take only images & memories. Is how we get access to private beauty spots.

Just thought you might like to know, seedlings from the Sycamore Tree felled illegally not long ago, have started to grow. There is a video on the BBC that shows a time lapse of them coming through the soil. 😀
Thanks for the update! Happy to hear that :)
the tree itself is not dead they should be patient and let it grow.
I’m Irish and wasn’t aware of this waterfall! Thank you for this video and thanks to the photographer ❤
i never heard it either but i am subscribed to that mans channel and i saw when he posted up but before that never heard of it

And just like the UK Ireland doesn't have any dangerous wildlife to spoil seeing such stunning scenery. They don't even have snakes in Ireland
According to legend St Patrick drove them all into the sea.
@@hadz8671As St Patrick was driving the snakes out of Ireland, he called out to them, "Are you all right there, in the back!"

The landscape is typical of Europe your welcome to the moss on my roof if you love moss 😀This is similar to my region in France and my family home in Tenby Wales.The best waterfalls are in Iceland are the most powerful in Europe, This is such pure water as on the way down its filtered through the rocks. The top of the water fall is starting from a Volcano left over from the Ice Age, Merci Jean-Marc
We have one waterfall I've seen in Britain which was like the Niagara Falls, but remember that the power of any waterfall is entirely dependant on the seasonal rain.
When you come over (presumably at the height of summer) it's less likely you'll get to see such spectacles.
You should check out Mealt Falls and Kilt Rock in Scotland
You should react to a full video of Irish landscapes it's so magical it looks like faires could live there
Hi ,i love your enthusiasm for uk .i live close to the north Yorkshire moors national Park and its beautiful see if you can find a video of the area you won't be disappointed.
this is in the republic of ireland not the UK
The lake once had a cranogh built upon it.
1150ft would be nearly to the top of the second section of the Sears/Willis Tower or just below the superstructure of the Empire State Building! Thats massive!!
I've fished in a few lakes up around Cavan and no problem with the farmers, they just tell you to work away as long as you close the garages after you.
The British Isles were covered everywhere with trees, they say you could travel from London to Yorkshire without leaving the cover of trees, and then they started chopping them down, in the highlands of the British Isles and working it's way down to the low grounds before they realised they were short of wood and that's when they started planting fast growing pine trees over the high lands but at this time most of the grounds in many places turned to bog lands and not suitable for planting pine trees.
Actually, Northumberland was 75% covered by forest but , well, humans encroached. However, we do have the largest, managed forest in Europe, Keilder forest which stretches along Keilder Water and the Northumberland/Scottish border , it's a wild, beautiful area also has an Observation Centre as it's a National Park & Dark Sky park
As the video says, this is on private land with access only on the landowners permission, a legacy of the unfortunate history of Ireland being for some hundreds of years a colony, and consequently land owners rights took priority to an even greater extent than in the rest of the UK, where ancient privileges to some extent endured.
With proper access you can visit in the Brecons in Wales the 'Four Waterfalls walk' where:
' The 4 Waterfalls Walk is around 4.5 mile. However, depending on which point you decide to start, the route will vary slightly in length.'
And then there is 'Sgwd Gwladys, Pontneddfechan' where you can actually walk behind the waterfall.
On the '4 waterfalls route' you can also walk behind Sgwd yr Eira, apologies for the omission, as my mobility is now somewhat limited, so I am not up to speed on these wonderful dream facilities.
But if you can, do it.
You said the rest of the Uk ireland is not in the UK i think its a freudian slip on your part in fairness .The land up to the waterfall before the electric fence would be xolely owned by one farmer but the rest would be owned by several farmers including the said farmer in whats called a commonage
@@gallowglass2630 Fair shout. I was thinking of Northern Ireland, which like Eire have relartively restricted rights to access to lands, which AFAIK are a legacy which both have in common of colonialism, whilst traditional rights obtained in England and Wales.
Scotland is even more fortunate in having a right of access to land, but only after the lairds kicked much of the peasantry off the land and forced emigration subsequent on Bonnie Prince Charley's defeat and so on.
'History is a nightmare from which I am trying to wake up'.
@@davidmartin3947 Its all to with the land rights campaign in ireland in the late 19th century which resulted in the breakup of estates.This effected the north too as the island wasn't partitioned.The Irish land league hadv a branch in scotland but bit never got off the ground which is why you still have large tracts of land owned by very people
Have you heard of the Scilly Isles off the south coast of England,its an archipelago of Islands the UK'S sort of Tropical Island's,its a lovely place,they have what they call trust boxes scattered about were you can buy things and just leave the money in the box,if you hire bikes to ride about the Islands they don't give you a lock because they say nobody will steal anything,just watched a video on it, I think you will like it. ❤
Have you reacted to the LAKE DISTRICT in England yet ?
I saw a short drone video a long time ago, but I really haven't looked into the area much yet. We're going to have to check it out soon.
If you didn't know better you would think these are shots from one of the Star Wars movie. Really gorgeous views. 😍😍😍😱
Well it's not far from Skellig Michael that was used for filming.
Eas á Chual Aluin - Britains highest waterfall. Eas a' Chual Aluinn in the parish of Assynt, Sutherland, Highland, Scotland, is the highest waterfall in the United Kingdom with a sheer drop of 658 ft (200 m). When in full flow it is over three times higher than Niagara Falls
If YOU like this ,youred like the Yorkshire dials .and ALL so the lakes in the lakedistrekt. TAKE CARE AND all the best. 😊😊👍👍
I've just looked the waterfall up on Google Satellite images- and there are no buildings, roads or obvious paths anywhere near the lake and the waterfall. It is literally miles from anywhere. A fit and experienced hiker could get up there- but it would be a long slog - and apparently it's on privately owned land, so you'd also need permission.
there are a couple of reasons why the farmer hasn't opened it up to the public. firstly you would need to pass through gates/fields where livestock may be being kept. secondly, he would probably need insurance incase anyone fell or twisted an ankle while on his property.
I hate to be 'that guy' but - the Mare's Tail is not where the map shows on screen at 1:00, but ten miles to the north-east. According to the contours on Googlemaps the top of the waterfall is at around 350m, but the bottom is at 80-100m, so nearer 250m than 350. Still high, and a fantastic piece of scenery.
Thanks, now I have been able to find it on an old map. "1150 ft" is the height of the lough above sea-level, but as you said the bottom is about 300 ft above sea-level, so 850 ft (= 260 m).
Simply stunning.
Im not being weird but i love you two i thourly enjoy watching your videos and your beautiful sofia im from staffordshire uk and agree with you that this is stunning xx
You'll find that the waterfall featured in the film 'Excaliber'.
No that was powerscourt in wicklow where the rest of the film was filmed
Hi Steve & Lindsey, I know you like to see beautiful places, well one place that very few people outside of the British Islands have ever heard of are 'The Isles of Scilly' .. (NOT the Silly Isles 😡). They are a collection of more than 140 Islands about 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall. Only 5 of the Islands are inhabited, the largest is St.Mary's (Capital is Hugh Town) Tresco, Bryher (the prettiest), St.Martin's and St.Agnes. The population is around 2,300. It is one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
A shout out to 'When Adventures Knox' -- Isles of Scilly Adventures + Must see attractions -- Top 10. You will absolutely Love it, and it's part of England 🙂
Thanks for the suggestion :)
you are most welcome @@reactingtomyroots
The Devil's Chimney in the same general area has a larger unbroken drop, around 150m without any break. Not quite the highest in the British Isles as there's a Scottish one already mentioned in the comments that is larger but definitely impressive.
Have a look at Skeliig. They filmed the last Starwars there
I really hope you get the chance to visit us some day.
Eaus a chaul alluin in Scotland is 660ft tall making it the largest in the UK
check out john eagles waterfalls of beara nd he has the mares tail cascade in full spate after a rain
You guys should watch 'Sonder: Ireland'
We moan about how much rain we get in the uk at times but then that is why England is so lush and green.
This video is about a waterfall in the republic of ireland not the UK
To put this waterfall into perspective, the largest waterfall on the biggest island of the Brtish Isles (not to be confused with the United Kingdom) is in Scotland & is Eas a' Chual Aluinn and is magnificent but only 638ft in comparison. This one is , or has been, vitually unknown simply because it IS privately owned...this photographer may have started something the landowner lives to regret 🤔 (just maybe...wait till the Irish Tourist Board get a load of that!)😅
Yes but the Beara Peninsula is so wild the number of tourists will always be limited
@gallowglass2630 my friend, it's privately owned, hordes of tourists will never be welcomed, they just don't mix with farm animals 😢
Buy all terrain bikes with a kiddy trailer attached and off you go all the three.
South Wales has beautiful waterfalls.
St Davids is lovely.
Have you ever tried water that runs down a mountain?it's so nice and sweet.
I grew up near a spring and the water was amazing.
If you think that's good you should check out County Kerry in Ireland 🇮🇪 😂
Is this video old for in 2005 Ireland had been stopped been called as part of the British isles by the Irish government. Today it is Uk and Ireland.
Not having it a county cork waterfall is not higher than a county sligo waterfall .I am from county sligo and we have the highest recorded waterfall called the devils chimney which doesn't always flow but because sligo is probably the wettest part of ireland so its often flowing. Joking aside i did query the photographer at the time,but as the powerscourt waterfall which flows continuously attracts tourists and to a lesser extent the sligo waterfall these will still be listed as the highest whereas this waterfall is not very accessible and the farmers wouldn't want large numbers like that on there land when i say farmers that land is commonage may be not where the man entered but the rest of the land would be have several farmers grazing there sheep.
Getting well
You should have a look at the secret waterfall in Donegal.
3 times the height of Niagra Falls
Yay Ireland won their referendum today Victory is sweet. 🎉whoo hoo
Thanks finally we have stood up and said no wokery.The Irish mammy rules and the irish family
I find it funny that how Americans measure things in American Football fields. 😁
I am irish i measure every thing in Gaelic football fields which 144m at least in croke park anyway,A New Zealander will measure in rugby fields
Europes tallest waterfall is the Vinnufallet in Norway, at an astonishing 2837 feet!
Wow. That sounds amazing.
Tallest UNBROKEN waterfall
"Hardraw Force
Comprising a single drop of 100 feet (30 m) from a rocky overhang, Hardraw Force is claimed to be England's highest unbroken waterfall - at least discounting underground falls. The underground waterfall inside nearby Gaping Gill on the western flank of Ingleborough has an unbroken fall of more than 300 feet (91 m)."
In comparison, the highest part of Niagara Falls is about 170 feet high.
Aren't drones wonderful.I live near the Pennines(the back bone of England)The wind is so harsh,trees can't survive.
Been fortunate enough to see a fair amount of mainland Britain and have always been interested in visiting Ireland but never knew this stunning place existed. Thanks guys great video again
It really is beautiful!
Hate to have to burst an Americans bubble but this completely factually impossible, our highest mountain is carrountoohill which is 1083 feet so it's metaphysically impossible a waterfall exists that size in Ireland of 1150 feet. The devil's chimney near glencar is our tallest albeit seasonally, our actual tallest year rounder is powerscourt in wicklow. Big thank you from Ireland also, your posting doing far too many British videos please do more irish ones, namely wicklow or there were you tubers who did all 43 long distance trails in Ireland you need to check them out, maybe one of your next videos could be glendalough and the wicklow way that'd be amazing. Great video though your passion for my country is evident and I appreciate that
My deepest apologies my lack of spatial awareness made me mix up feet and metres ignore most of my previous comment😭😭
@@gregorytreacy7085 i was going to say something before you corrected yourself but being a sligo man i was a bit sceptical however it looks a waterfall and its the back end of hungry hill so its very plausible.
and lots of sheep !
There's no trees because the English cut them all down, we had rain forest in Eire before the English came....
Not really yes they were cut down but if itwas not grazed it would have grown back
Why are you connecting Ireland to England they are separate countries
Why is it titled Ireland and the UK? The UK has nothing to do with it, you may as well title it Ireland, UK, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg
Because that's what the original video was titled! And it seemed relevant to include since a big part of my subscribers are in the UK.
@@reactingtomyrootsyup and Ireland is part of the British isles so uk and Ireland is relevant, presumably it’s taller than anything in the UK too.
@@reactingtomyroots I wasn't aiming my criticism at yourselves but at the original poster.
@@djs98blue It is so why include the UK. Read again my original post.
@@peterholmes3011because the UK and Ireland are part of an archipelago of geologically connected islands. Whether we call this the British isles or, mindful of the colonial history, the Atlantic archipelago, or, as here, simply UK and Ireland, these islands are geologically similar. This means they have a shared a tectonic path over the last 500 million years or so and so geologically they constitute a useful collective point of comparison in the same way that a video of the highest waterfall in Spain and Portugal is relevant because of the shared geological history of the Iberian Peninsula.
If there was a tectonic plate boundary down the Irish Sea and across the border between Ireland and northern Ireland I would agree geological collective terms, and comparisons, are less relevant but that is not the case.
It's grass, not moss.
