 About Killarney

Killarney, located in County Kerry, is a highly sought-after destination due to its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Some of the attractions that you will visit while in Killarney will include Killarney National Park:

Killarney National Park

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offering opportunities for walking, hiking, cycling, and exploring its ancient woodlands, lakes (Lough Leane, Muckross Lake, Upper Lake), and wildlife. The park was established in 1932 when the Muckross Estate was donated to the Irish Free State by the Bourn and Vincent families. The land around the lakes has a long history of human occupation, dating back to the Bronze Age with evidence of copper mining on Ross Island. It was also home to monastic settlements, such as the 7th-century Inisfallen Abbey, and served as strongholds for Gaelic chieftains.

Muckross House & Gardens

Built between 1839 and 1843 for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife, Muckross House & Gardens is a magnificent 19th-century Victorian mansion and its surrounding estate, nestled within the stunning Killarney National Park in County Kerry, Ireland. It’s a testament to the elegant lifestyle of the landed gentry of the past. Here you will also find Muckross Abbey: A beautifully preserved 15th-century Franciscan friary ruin, Muckross Abbey is a peaceful and atmospheric site to explore, with its distinctive central courtyard and ancient yew tree. The surrounding gardens, including the Sunken Garden, Rock Garden, and Stream Garden, are beautifully landscaped and free to explore.

Ross Castle

Ross Castle is a magnificent and historic tower house situated on the shores of Lough Leane, the largest of Killarney’s three lakes, within the breathtaking Killarney National Park in County Kerry. The Castle was originally built in the late 15th century by the O’Donoghue Mór (O’Donoghue the Great) chieftains, who were a powerful ruling family in the region. It served as their ancestral home and a symbol of Gaelic power.

The castle has undergone significant restoration including the great hall, dining room, and bedrooms and is now furnished with 16th and 17th-century period furniture, offering visitors a glimpse into its past. The spiral stone staircase, built with varying heights to break the stride of attackers, is a notable feature. The construction is of a typical tower house with strong defensive features:

Thick Stone Walls and Narrow Windows: Designed for defense, the lower levels have narrow slits for shooting arrows or guns, while upper levels have larger windows for light. Bartizans and Machicolations: These are defensive turrets and openings that allowed defenders to drop stones or boiling liquids on attackers.

Fortified Bawn: The tower was originally surrounded by a square bawn (enclosed courtyard) with corner towers for added protection. It’s an iconic landmark, steeped in history and folklore.

The Ring of Kerry

Killarney is a popular starting and finishing point for exploring this world-famous scenic driving route.

The Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula or Corca Dhuibhne in Irish is a breathtakingly beautiful finger of land jutting into the Atlantic Ocean from County Kerry on Ireland’s southwest coast. Often described as “the most beautiful place on earth” by National Geographic, it’s renowned for its dramatic coastal scenery, rich ancient history, vibrant Irish-speaking culture, and charming towns. The peninsula is characterized by a wild and rugged coastline, with steep cliffs, wide sandy beaches, and numerous headlands and coves.

A range of mountains forms its spine, running from the Slieve Mish in the east to the Brandon range in the northwest, including Mount Brandon, the peninsula’s highest peak (952m). Its location at the edge of Europe means it’s heavily shaped by the Atlantic elements, leading to a mild but unpredictable climate. Expect all four seasons in one day, so layering is key! Fuchsia and even palm trees thrive here due to the warming effect of the Gulf Stream.

The diverse geological formations, spanning 485 million years, contribute to the unique landscape of contrasting rugged rock, verdant fields divided by ancient stone walls, and sheltered coves. Inhabited for nearly 6,000 years there is evidence of early human activity, from the Stone Age to the Iron Age, is abundant with numerous archaeological sites like standing stones, forts, and beehive huts.

Jaunting Car Rides

A Jaunting Car Ride is a traditional, horse-drawn carriage tour, offering a unique way to experience Killarney National Park and hear local folklore. It’s an iconic and charming way to experience the local sights and scenery.

The Carriage of a jaunting car is typically a two-wheeled vehicle pulled by a single horse. Its distinctive feature is the seating arrangement: passengers sit back-to-back, facing outwards, with their legs dangling over the side. This unique design allows for unobstructed views of the surroundings. Some larger versions might have benches facing forward. The “Jarvey” is the driver of the jaunting car. These individuals are as much a part of the experience as the ride itself. They are usually local, often multi-generational, and are renowned for their wit, storytelling, historical anecdotes, and knowledge of the area. They’ll share local folklore, facts, and often a good laugh.

The gentle, unhurried pace of a jaunting car offers a refreshing contrast to today’s rushed high-speed travel and it connects you to how people moved around centuries ago. It’s a genuine piece of Irish heritage, often operated by families who have been Jarveys for generations, adding a layer of local character that modern transport simply can’t replicate. The combination of the unique seating, the clip-clop of hooves, the fresh air, and the Jarvey’s engaging stories all contribute to a truly distinctive and nostalgic experience.

Ballybunion Golf Club, in County Kerry, is a private members golf club founded in 1893.

After playing Ballybunion for the first time, a person would think that the game of golf originated here. Located on the Shannon estuary, it is a true seaside links course, virtually treeless and a course of sharp contours throughout. There appears to be no man-made influence.

It looks like a course laid out on land back in the 10th century. There is a wild look to the place, the long grass covering the dunes that pitch and roll throughout the course making it very intimidating.

This is a dateless golf course which after playing makes you ask yourself if you've ever played amid quite such surroundings. Rated in the top 100 by Golf Magazine, the vast majority of Cashen's green positions have been copied by many new course designers. Spectacular and supremely challenging, what can never be copied is the majestic landscape and fresh sea air that is distinctly part of the Ballybunion experience.

Home to two unique and challenging links courses – The Old Course and The Cashen Course, visitors from around the world have been visiting the club for many decades. The Old Course was established in 1893, while the Cashen Course was established in 1984. The Old Course requires shot-making, placement and trajectory control.

Our beautiful links course is set in breath-taking scenery on the Dingle Peninsula along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Originally designed by Eddie Hackett, the links has naturally undulating fairways coupled with a meandering stream in play on 13 of the 18 classic links holes. The course offers the perfect combination of playability and difficulty depending on which tee you play from, and our fescue greens are up there with the very best in the country!

Our course improvement programme over the last 3 years has seen us climb up the Top 100 rankings of courses in Ireland.  Come and enjoy playing Dingle Golf Links Ceann Sibéal - a true test of links golf. 

Killarney Golf & Fishing Club was established in 1893 and is one of the oldest clubs in the country.

Nestled amidst the serene splendour of the famous Lakes of Killarney and in the shadow of the majestic Macgillycuddy‘s Reeks, the club’s Championship courses are set in a 25,000 acre National Park.

At 7,252 yards from the Championship tees, the Killeen course is amongst the most challenging in the country.

The beauty of the natural setting is matched by the treachery of the layout with water in play in virtually every hole.

At 6,800 yards, Mahony’s Point offers golfers a more relaxing round from a scoring perspective, though with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers, combined with vast undulating greens, the course still possesses plenty of potential trouble for even the most skilled golfer.

If you are on a golfing break in Kerry you won't want to miss the opportunity to play Dooks - a truly magical location for a stunning golf course. Experience breathtaking views and a unique links challenge that golfers have enjoyed since 1889.

Dooks Golf Club is one of Ireland's oldest links golf courses, located in Glenbeigh, in County Kerry, and is a truly magical location for a stunning golf course. Experience breath taking views and a unique links challenge.

Dooks is often described as one of the true gems of Irish Golf. It is a true sea-side links situated in a panoramic setting in a corner of Dingle Bay, Co. Kerry.

The Atlantic Ocean can be seen from practically every hole and Ireland’s highest mountain range, the McGillycuddy Reeks, overlooks every shot.

After a final full Irish breakfast depart for Shannon/Dublin airport for your flight home.
