When I was visiting Killarney, I kept thinking how nice it must be to have such a beautiful national park right at your doorstep. Just steps away from the centre of town, Killarney National Park encompasses some of the best scenery in Ireland.

Killarney National Park is a sublime collection of lakes, mountains, woodlands, and waterfalls. Three large lakes- Lough Leane, Muckross Lake, and the Upper Lake- make up about a quarter of the park, while the rest consists largely of oak, yew, and wet woodlands. The protected landscape is a haven for wildlife, including Ireland’s only wild herd of native red deer.

Amid the natural scenery you’ll find some man-made beauty as well. There’s Ross Castle sitting prominently on the shore of Lough Leane, the Victorian era Muckross House looking out across a great lawn towards Torc Mountain, and the preserved ruins of Muckross Abbey and the island-based Innisfallen Abbey.

I loved Killarney National Park so much that I spent all my time in Killarney there, setting foot in town only to eat dinner.

My favourite way to explore the park was on a boat and bike trip through the Lakes of Killarney and Gap of Dunloe, but I also enjoyed a late afternoon walk around Muckross Abbey, an evening visit to Ross Castle, and an early morning stroll from Muckross Estate to Torc Waterfall.
