Black Valley
Ireland
The Black Valley is one of the remotest places in Ireland and the last area to receive electricity from the grid. We explore a rural paradise of narrow roads, which meander below the peaks of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, discovering magical and unspoilt terrain, hidden away from most tourists and visitors. Rolling green hillsides beneath the mountain peaks surround a land of waterfalls, crystal clear lakes, bubbling rivers and cascades. Woven into this beautiful landscape we find forestry, woodlands and sheep farms as well as the iconic ruin of “Molly’s Cottage” at the far end of the valley.
