There are many different old trees here in the park. There is even an arboraetum. This tree here near Muckross House stands out due to its lonely location in front of the rock gardens. It's hard to get enough of this old oak tree.
But the rock gardens, on the edge of which the oak stands, are also worth seeing.

There are many old, large trees in the national park, which are very impressive. In Muckross Abbey there is even an old yew tree in the cloister, which was apparently planted in the Middle Ages.
