The park has a variety of nature trails where you will discover Muckross House, Muckross Abbey, Torc Waterfall, Ross Castle, Killarney House and Gardens, Knockreer House, Molls Gap and Ladies View. And if you’re fortunate, you might spot a wild red deer or two! The park was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1981.
Dingle Peninsula
Why not take a trip along the fantastic Dingle Peninsula and witness the miles of beaches, cliffs and islands? This stunning scenery formed the backdrop for the movie Ryan’s Daughter. Along the way, watch for Funghi the Dolphin, The Blasket Islands and, of course, the harbour town of Dingle itself. Often called An Daingean, Dingle lies within a Gaeltacht region.
