Killarney Walking Holidays

Killarney sits at the gate of Killarney National Park, where oak woods, Lough Leane and the Torc Waterfall start within walking distance of the town. It is the traditional start and finish of the Kerry Way, so you will share the streets with walkers, jarvey ponies and cyclists heading for the Gap of Dunloe. Muckross House and its gardens fill a wet afternoon. Red deer roam year-round; the woods turn copper through October.
