Torc Waterfall

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

Torc Waterfall is on the Owengarriff River inside Killarney National Park, in County Kerry on the southwest coast of Ireland. It sits about seven kilometres south of Killarney town, off the N71 road between Killarney and Kenmare.

The fall drops about twenty metres, or around seventy feet, in a single fanned cascade. It is not Ireland's tallest waterfall, but its setting inside one of the country's last fragments of Atlantic oakwood is what most visitors remember.

The Owengarriff River starts higher up Mangerton Mountain, in a glacial corrie lake called the Devil's Punch Bowl, and runs steeply down through the wood to drop at Torc. Below the fall it continues into the Upper Lake of Killarney.

No. The waterfall and the whole of Killarney National Park are open free of charge every day. There is a free car park on the N71 about 200 metres from the base of the fall, and a paved forest path leads to the viewing point.

After heavy rain the cascade is at its strongest and widest; in dry spells it thins to a few channels. The wet half of the Irish year, October through April, generally puts the most water over the rock. Mornings are quieter than afternoons.

Killarney National Park was established in 1932 as Ireland's first national park and covers roughly 102 square kilometres around Lough Leane, Muckross Lake, and the Upper Lake. It was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1981 and holds Ireland's largest remaining native woodland.

Torc is the Irish word for a wild boar. Local legend tells of a man cursed to live as a boar on nearby Torc Mountain, slain by the warrior-hero Fionn mac Cumhaill. The mountain, the lake above it, and the waterfall all carry the name.

Killarney anchors County Kerry and marks the start of the Ring of Kerry drive. For many visitors it is the place in Ireland they remember most clearly. A Coaster or Small with a handwritten note from the studio travels easily and reads as quiet rather than touristic.

The blue-green, deep moss, and dark wood palette of the Torc piece settles into Cottage-modern, Celtic-traditional, and Mountain-modern rooms. It also reads well against natural linen, oak, and the slightly damp greens that anchor much Irish-influenced interior work.

The piece holds up well in biophilic schemes built around woodland greens, water, and old stone. It pairs naturally with houseplants, wool throws in undyed shades, and rooms that lean into low-light, north-facing tones rather than fighting them.

A single Large suits a console or a narrow wall; for a sofa, most rooms want a 4-tile Mural at minimum, and a 9-tile Mural for a longer sofa or above a fireplace. The Triptych works well in narrow vertical spaces such as stairwells or beside a tall window.

Yes. For wet or splash-prone walls, choose the Dura Satin or Matte finish; both are scratch-resistant and stable in damp rooms. Glossy is reserved for show-pieces and framed wall art away from running water.

A soft microfibre cloth and plain water are enough. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure and lives beneath the finish, so it will not lift with cleaning. No abrasives, no bleach, no scouring pads.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to the studio. The Torc Waterfall painting is part of Reid Wender's atlas of places and is not licensed from any third party. The tile is hand-finished in our Knoxville workshop.
