Sightseeing
There is so much to see and do in Killarney National Park.
It's just a 15 minute drive to Killarney town from us and you can park up in the town and rent a bicycle or explore the park on foot.
You can enjoy a relaxing trip around the park in a horse-drawn jaunting cart. These can be rented at many spots around Killarney, including the town centre (outside the Ross Hotel/Killarney Plaza hotel) or out in Muckross House.
THE BLUE POOL
One of THE best kept secrets in Killarney - such a lovely little walk in the woods and on a nice day the water is turquoise.
Park at the Muckross Park Hotel and follow the signs.

An absolute must visit is the historic Muckross House and Gardens.
Take a tour of the house or just meander around the gardens - beautiful in any season.
There are plenty of walks you can take from the house - walk around the lakes, take a walk to Muckross Abbey, Ross Castle or Torc Waterfall. Bring your trainers!! Or bring a picnic blanket and take in the stunning surroundings.
Tip! Don't forget to check out the Edwardian glasshouse.
