Description
Killarney is the gateway to Killarney National Park, Ireland’s oldest national park and one of the country’s most spectacular natural landscapes. The region is defined by the three “Lakes of Killarney”, wooded mountains, ancient oak forests and historic estates such as Ross Castle and Muckross House. The nearby “Gap of Dunloe” and Torc Waterfall are among the area’s best-known attractions, making Killarney an ideal base for hiking, cycling and exploring the surrounding countryside. The combination of pristine nature, Irish history and the distinctive landscapes of County Kerry makes Killarney one of southwest Ireland’s most popular destinations and an important starting point for exploring the Iveragh Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry.
