Explore Killarney National Park
Killarney National Park is one of the greatest places in Ireland to reconnect with nature. This is the only site in the world where you may watch red deer gazing quietly in the wild. The 100,000-acre park is also home to 141 bird species, and if you enjoy fishing, the glacial Lower Lake (or Lough Leane.) thrives with trout, salmon, and perch. It is home to the only red deer herd on continental Ireland and has the most extensive coverage of natural woodland in Ireland. The park has great ecological significance due to the excellent quality, diversity, and extent of many of its habitats, as well as the large range of species that it supports, some of which are uncommon.
In 1981, the park was named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The park is part of a Special Conservation Area and a Special Protection Area. As you walk around the park, you will be rewarded with views of distant mountain ranges, lush moorlands, parks, gardens, and rumbling creeks. Visit the Ring of Kerry for the greatest landscapes in Ireland. The Torc Waterfall, Roos Castle, Ogham Stones, Gap of Dunloe, and the Stone Pillars are among the attractions along this path. The region around Iveragn Peninsula, in particular, features some breathtaking landscapes stretching over 170 kilometers.
