Review
There are some of Irelands biggest attractions in this book, and there are also some of Ireland's smallest attractions to boot. We have also selected a huge number of Ireland's brightest hidden gems on offer for you to explore, and one of Ireland's brightest hidden gems is Blackwater Boating. For over 35 years it's owner Denis Murray has been taking people boating on Co. Waterford's River Blackwater. Spanning through three counties, this 169 km long river offers an absolutely awe inspiring journey from the mountains of Co. Kerry, to the sea at Co. Cork. I couldn't imagine any better way to experience all that this river offers, than with the vastly experienced Denis Murray. As you make your journey along this great river, you encounter some of the many enchanting manor houses and stately homes that lie along its banks. All in all, Blackwater Boating offers you a fantastic day out, and not at a huge cost, a massive thumbs up from Top 100 Attractions!
