Be surprised at how the Celts traded copper all throughout Europe and even to Africa

From the trail along the flanks of Torc Mountain you get fantastic views across Muckross Lake and Lough Leane. A run along this trail is magnificent. While the ascent is a bit brutal, you'll get the reward of a fun descent to Torc Waterfall.

We really enjoyed visiting Ross Castle in Killarney. This castle is particularly impressive from the outside and the surroundings with the beautiful lake are just totally romantic. I personally didn't find the interior that spectacular, but once you've had a look around the castle you'll be rewarded with a fantastic view at the top!

The national park borders directly on Killarney and after just a few steps you forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

Killarney's own 'city park' The recently restored Killarney House and Gardens brings Killarney National Park right into the heart of our city and has created the largest city park in the world. The restoration of the house and formal gardens has partly revived the style of 18th century French chateaux and a 20th century Edwardian estate. Restoration work on the landscaped gardens is ongoing. In the 1950s the house was purchased by John McShain of the USA. Mr. McShain was an Irish-American building contractor known as 'The Man Who Built Washington'. He built the Pentagon and the Jefferson Memorial in the US Capitol, among other buildings. In the 1970s he sold the house and thousands of acres of parkland to the Irish State for a symbolic sum, ensuring that the Irish public could enjoy it forever. The uniqueness of Killarney House and its gardens is that they open up the town centre to the stunning panorama of the National Park. This magnificent property is a prologue to some of the most stunning natural landscapes in the world. Access to Killarney's newest attraction is either via a new side entrance next to the statue of Monsignor O'Flaherty on Mission Road or via the wonderfully restored 'Golden Gates' on Muckross Road. Three centuries of garden styles will be reflected in the restoration and landscaping work. (Source: https://www.killarneyparkhotel.ie/our-killarney/killarney-national-park/killarney-house/)

If you come in the evening - before the garden closes at 7 p.m. - you might be lucky (like we were) and see deer and even pet them or take photos of them while they are feeding. A uniquely beautiful and peaceful place.
