Killarney

Situated in the south west of Ireland in County Kerry, the town of Killarney is in an area of stunning natural beauty. The town itself is packed with hotels, bars and restaurants and caters well for visitors attracted to Killarney National Park, which lies adjacent to the town. Its woodland walks, rugged mountains and beautiful lakes make it one of the most popular natural areas in Ireland. Stretching across 26,000 acres, the park encompasses the McGillycuddy Reeks Mountain Range, where you can climb Ireland’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohill. On the largest lake in the park, Lough Leane, you can hire a boat and appreciate the views of the mountainous landscape. Killarney is also a place steeped in history. Muckross House and Gardens is a Victorian Mansion in a beautiful location by Muckross Lake. Other historical landmarks include 15th-century Ross Castle and the ruins of a Christian monastery dating back to the seventh century.
