Poulaphouca Fall. The entire center of County Wicklow is made up of the Wicklow Mountains, which are naturally adorned with a number of rivers and stunning waterfalls like this one. This particular waterfall no longer exists since the Poulaphouca Reservoir was completed in 1940. Vintage pictures of Ireland taken between 1890 and 1900, courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Blessington Lakes, Co. Wicklow, Ireland - Scenes from Braveheart filmed here - Wallace’s escape on horseback from Mornay’s castle, filmed at Blessington Lakes, where a 45-foot tower was specially constructed for the leap into the water. Covering 5,000 acres, the lakes were formed in the 1940s by the building of the Poulaphouca Dam to provide electricity and water for the Dublin region. If you're visiting, the lakes also offer opportunities for fishing, sailing, windsurfing and canoeing.
