Derrycunnihy

Past Mangerton Mountains, the road continues southwest, flanked by rocky hillsides to the Upper Lake, and comes to Derrycunnihy, a place of enchanting beauty where a waterfall dashes down over rocks in a setting of dense greenery. To the northeast the old road to Killarney goes through a wildly beautiful valley. Higher up, on the Kenmare road, is one of the finest viewpoints in the area, Ladies' View. The name derives from the fact that Queen Victoria and her ladies-in-waiting stopped here 100 years ago to admire the view.

From the Upper Lake it is possible to return to Ross Castle by boat, sailing along narrow waterways with wooded shores, past the "Eagles's Nest" and Dinis Island.
