Killarney Ireland

Killarney is a wee town of great tourist interest situated at the entrance to Killarney National Parklands. This reserve, brimming with lakes and forests, is the beginning of the Ring of Kerry, a circular tourist route perfect for unwinding amidst nature. Like most towns in Ireland, Killarney is rich in architectural and historical sights. The town boasts charming architecture and style reminiscent of the late 19th century. The town's main monument is St. Mary’s Cathedral, adorned with mosaics and frescos, it's considered one of the most important and best Gothic Revival churches of the nineteenth century in Ireland. A mere 5 minutes from Killarney Town Centre, you'll find the beautifully restored 15th Century Ross Castle, home to the legendary Gaelic Chieftain O’Donoghue Ross. It overlooks the Lower Lake, the 7th century monastery and a 12th century oratory on Innisfallen Island, situated in the middle of the lake. Take a short dander from the castle on Ross Island and visit the site of the old copper mine shafts. Or simply wander around the picturesque town. Discover its beautifully maintained and colourful shops. When you need a break there's plenty of tea shops, restaurants, cafes and pubs for a drink, meal or snack. The locals are welcoming and friendly, always ready to help and give advice to any visitor. Killarney, with beautiful flower arrangements and freshly painted shop fronts gleaming proudly from every street, is a truly beautiful place simply created for rest and joy.
