A relatively easy hike that's suitable for any fitness level, with gorgeous views all along the way. The route has a constant slight incline on the way there. You're rewarded with lovely views of a cliff edge by the watchtower. It takes about 1.5 hours, starting at the carpark, to get to the watchtower and back, allowing time to take in the views. The hike can be done with normal running shoes.

This was actually one of the best walks (slight hike) that we found in Ireland, even comparable to the cliffs od Moher. The views to the top, but also the view on the top - magnificent. We even had a sunny day and it was very windy.

We didnt do any walks but we did get a fantastic view of the Skelligs. That alone was enough. Large carpark but cost 2 euro if you plan to spend more than a few minutes.

Amazing scenery awaits if you do the full loop (not just to the tower and same way back), but even just the tower or extended to the tip of Valencia is already really nice. Parking fee of 2€ for the whole day is great value. Unfortunately only payable with coins (10ct, 20ct, 50ct, 1€, 2€). Path to the tower is easy to moderate with low technical difficulty, just a bit steep in places. It gets a lot steeper and more technical, the main track is harder to see, and it can get way more muddy depending on weather. It is really worth it though as you can also see the jagged cliffs and the tower on the North side of the island. Ideally, use OpenStreetMap / komoot for track navigation if you’re unsure about where to go. We spent almost three hours here including taking loads of photos, snacking, geocaching.

Note! Bring change for the paid parking. Car park built by a local man, not County Council, so it's paid parking. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Fantastic walk up Bray Head, I bring all my visitors who like the outdoors. The views are spectacular! Right now the old tower is being renovated as it turns this into a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point. So you can't walk to the tip like in the past. The path is stony as it heads up, and wet on rainy days. You'll walk by sheep and cows with no fence between you and them. Great to see!

The Bray Head Loop Walk is an absolute gem! From the moment you start the trail, you're treated to breathtaking coastal views, lush greenery, and the invigorating sea breeze. The climb to the top is manageable for most fitness levels, and the panoramic view from the summit is more than worth the effort — especially the iconic cross overlooking the Irish Sea and Bray town. The loop is well-marked and offers a great mix of scenery, from rugged cliffs to peaceful wooded paths. It's the perfect way to spend a few hours outdoors, whether you're a local or just visiting. Highly recommended for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to escape into Ireland's natural beauty.

Easy climb, about an hour there and back from the car park where you will need pay two euros to park.

This was a great stop on our journey. We enjoyed feeding the sheep and goats and watching the dog hearding the sheep.The history of the Famine cottage truly interesting.

It’s best to see these cottages along with a sheepdog demonstration, but even alone they’re a worthwhile stop and you’ll also get to walk amongst cute little sheep and goats. Due to low light it was just a little hard to read the displays inside the cottages, but we enjoyed this sobering reminder of Ireland’s past.

This brought to life what had been just a story. Its amazing to realize what the amazing people of Ireland had to endure and how resilient they are. We loved feeding the sheep and goats. The sheep herding was amazing to watch. Those little pups are so sweet with us, but they put the sheep in their place. Thank you so much.

Fantastic piece of history. The family who works the farm dates back to this land before records. They have written a book about it, and give live sheepdog demonstrations.

We made a quick stop here. Again, important to understand the history of the potato famine and the difficult live of those trying to survive

Very tired and neglected. The information plaques were informative, the cottages gave a sense of this life, but everything else was uncared for with even a plastic step ladder in the middle of one room, foam mattresses, clothing on the mannequins that had gone green with algae and the prize was the wig on the face of another mannequin. Avoid!

This was a highly inexpensive stop that literally gave me a glimpse of everything I expected to see while visiting. The mannequins used to express the famine were a bit worn, but the history posted within the building was interesting. The thatched roof cottage, the vistas, rolling green mountain side, sheep and donkeys were the quintessential Ireland. Definitely worth the stop!

A wonderful place to watch the sunset over the sea. You stand on the cliffs while the sun sinks into the sea. There are several viewing points. From here, you can see Valentia Island and the Skelligs. The fee is €8.00, but it's worth it as the road is very steep. When it gets dark, it's magical because you're in a Dark Sky Area and you can see the Milky Way and lots of stars. I was there on the "Perseid night" and saw lots of shooting stars.

What a lovely outing! The photos truly don’t do this service. Really glad we did research ahead of time and stopped to do all the trail walks here. We got perfect weather and saw incredible, expansive views of the countryside and water.

This is a paid attraction which is €8 per car to enter. You can drive to the highest peak on Valentia Island and is well worth seeing the view from the top is amazing and there is a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point at the peak

A stunning place! From the highest point of Valentia Island, you can see dozens of kilometers around. The Atlantic Ocean, mountains, azure water, bays and villages. The lighthouse below seems like a tiny structure. Also visible from the island is the famous Skellig Michael, where the filming of "Star Wars" took place. Entry by car is 4 euros. Half of the way along Valentia Island is a two-way road, and the other half is one-way, you need to watch out and pass oncoming cars. Be careful. But this trip is definitely worth it.

Amazing place to visit, off the beaten path of Kerry Ring. One of the most beautiful views to Skellig Islands, Valentia Island , kliffs, the sea. A must go.

Great panoramic views from the top of Geokaun. There is a second view point of the cliffs which Is stunning. You can drive to the top making it accessible to all which is great. Reasonably priced. Spoke with the owners who are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Great day out.

Fantastic place to get superb scenic views, and most definitely worth a visit. We drove from Killarney, and it was easy enough to find Geokaun Mountain. We paid €6 for the car at the first car park, and met a lovely fur baby who’d been abandoned as a pup, and was now living her best life as one of the welcoming party! If we weren’t limited for time we would have walked up to all three viewing areas, but instead we drove to save time. The views were stunning, and we really enjoyed reading all the relevant information at each platform - history of the area, and resident wildlife. If you’re time visiting The Ring of Kerry is limited, I highly recommend you make this place one of your stops.

An interesting place to look around. Worth about an hour and a half. The best bit is being able to climb to the top of the lighthouse and walk around the balcony. There are lots of interpretation boards in English and Gaelic and a couple of multimedia screens with history of the lighthouse and its people.

Would recommend making a stop here in your Valentia Island trip. Area is really scenic. Lots of information posted but it's not overwhelming. You can climb up the lighthouse and walk around at the top just under the light

Two of us visited the Lighthouse today. It’s our view if you are in Portmagee, this is a must visit location, worth the visit. There’s a charge of €7.49 + CAT 13.5%, for both of us we paid €17.00. There’s a tea house and toilet facilities, so we thought it’s okay. The light house itself is a marvellous piece of construction and it’s surrounding has breathtaking views.

Old impressive lighthouse. Unfortunately it was blocked off and charging a ridiculous fee to let us in. Since most lighthouses doesnt charge, we decided not to go in as we had visited plenty of other lighthouses before. Still beautiful however.

Well worth a visit. I didn't go in as I was having to leave the area to get to my new destination. But just to be there where the Atlantic meets the shore line is spectacular. Be aware, the road to it is steep. The junction leading to the main road is particularly steep & difficult to see each way. It's also a stop junction. Needless to say, I made a mess of it & dropped my bike.

The lighthouse shows in beautiful detail what the life of its last Lighthouse Keeper looked like at the turn of last century. From Videos to small exhibits, this place is worth the visit for the beautiful location alone. Certainly worth the trip if you are on Valencia Island already

WOW! one of our highlights of our holiday to Kerry in June. Visited here and the views are just stunning... you can watch the Atlantic Ocean all around you from up the top of the lighthouse. There are some interesting and important displays and some lovely stories from people on Valentia Island. Added bonus is the drive to get there is scenic and full of places to stop and also there is a little cafe which we didnt use. Carparking and toilets also avalible.

You are only able to get about 100 yd away from the facility, all fenced off as private property. There is a free parking area, nobody is here securing the facility. You can walk around towards the right and follow the water and get a little better view and better pictures. But you cannot actually approach and touch or walk through. Well worth the drive though

The castle ruins are visible from the small parking area but the grounds are on private property. If you’re visiting the nearby stone forts, it’s worth taking the short drive over, but I otherwise wouldn’t go out of the way to see this. There are plenty of better castle ruins to see in Ireland. Unless you walk down along the water (which was very scenic) you shouldn’t plan to spend more than about 5 minutes here.

One thing that can happen on trips is that you have to make time choices. If you are in the area, it is worth the 10 minute drive and park while seeing the other are attractions. I would not add this to an itinerary. If you have seen castle ruins, you have seen this. If you have not, it is worth going up to get a photo. The are is pretty.

Unfortunately, the area is closed, and it’s not very interesting to stand 8 meters away. But I still liked it, because... because it's beautiful. If you're heading to the Kerry Cliffs, stop here, just 15 minutes from the main road.

Castle ruin on private farm land. No entrance. But you can see it from 50 metres distance, and walk around on a private road (no cars allowed). Parking for about 5 cars nearby. A narrow single lane road leading to it. Drive with care.

We knew that one can't access the castle anymore but we still loved the location. You can walk around, take pics of the castle and if you come during low tide you can explore the riverbed. Parking for about 5 cars right in front, fits a motorhome too. No barriers or height restrictions

A very unknown place with hardly any tourists. There's even not a board with history or description of the place! Basically it's just the ruins of the castle with rocky walls on one side and overgrown walls with trailing green plants in the other side.

We walked in and did a tasting in the tasting room (no tour). Great info from the staff at the bar. Lovely setting for the tasting - very authentic in the distillery. Really nice whiskey ! Recommend a stop here if you're touring around Dingle peninsula!

Great afternoon spent listening to the story of how Dingle gin vodka whisky came to be. Great tour by Colin. Tastings were great. Drink at end a bonus.

Local and authentic distillery tour with very motivated guide - perfect length and good storytelling and explanation. Great small degustation at the end of the tour.

During our trip around Edinburgh and Ireland, I tried to taste as many different local beers, gins and whiskeys as I could. On a rainy afternoon, we had booked in for a tour and tasting at the Dingle Distillery, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I learned a lot and liked what I tasted, so over all it was a great way to spend some time. It’s a beautiful establishment, full of local stories and like lots of businesses like this, it was a passion project, and who knew how it would go. What stood out to me initially was that the tour guide really knew their stuff and had been making alcohol for over 15 years. They knew a lot, and were clearly passionate about the process, care and effort that goes into making Dingle Gin, Vodka and Whiskey. The tour itself was not only informative, but really deepened my appreciation for the craft behind whiskey production - especially how the grain, cask type, and aging all significantly shape the final product. As someone who enjoys whiskey, but always adds a bit of ice, I appreciated the guide's open, relaxed and less puritanical view - telling us that it doesn’t have to be had straight, and encouraging people to enjoy their whiskey how they personally like it: and noting that if you add a little water or ice it actually opens it up. I was glad to hear that it is also how the guide liked to drink theirs. Dingle Distillery is still relatively young by global standards - founded in 2012 as part of the new wave of Irish craft distilleries. They have a sort of small-batch, artisan approach and began by selling casks of their first products to investors, lots of whom they knew - and it grew and grew from there. Everything is made on-site in Dingle, with a focus on quality over mass production. The distillery uses locally sourced botanicals for its gin (which is an excellent gin), and carefully selected casks for aging their whiskeys, including bourbon, rum and port casks that bring real depth and complexity. Their by-products are collected by local farmers and put to good use, and you can tell they’ve thought a lot about the end-to-end process. Before visiting, I couldn’t remember seeing or coming across their products, but since the tour, I’ve started seeing Dingle Whiskey and Dingle Gin everywhere, and by my taste buds, this is for good reasons. It was nice to support a distillery that’s still independently owned, and building its reputation for quality one batch at a time. If you’re visiting Dingle, don’t skip the tour. It’s a unique and memorable experience, whether you're a serious whiskey enthusiast or simply curious I think everyone would get something out of the tour.

I did the 75 minute Distillery tour. Very knowledgeable guide. They put together quite small groups of about 14 people max. Tasted different spirits in the beginning and at the end. Overall a great experience, if you want to see an artisan Whiskey Distillery, this is the best tour I had so far!

Dingle Distillery truly offered the best distillery tour I have ever done. I have been to many, and this one stood out immediately because of how warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable the staff are. The tour itself is the perfect length, with no unnecessary filler, and every part feels thoughtful and informative. What really impressed me was how they taught us to taste the whiskey. Their approach gave me a completely new perspective, and I actually enjoyed the tasting even though I normally do not like whiskey. It felt personal, fun, and genuinely interesting from start to finish. This is absolutely a tour you do not want to miss.

Great tasting! Started with gin & vodka. Moved on to an immersive tour with smelling mashes and different barrels. Drank two more whiskey tastes including single malt and POTS. Excellent town recommendations by Tomas. Only 20€ for a student! We booked online the day before :)

Wow! What a great aquarium. We accidentally timed our visit to perfection and managed to catch the otters and two different types of penguins at their feeding times. Got to watch otters eat meat balls, and it was awesome. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Lovely aquarium for both adults and children.

I was absolutely amazed by how wonderful this aquarium was. I took my son here for his birthday and we had a great time. We watched them feed the penguins and listened to a great talk about the sharks. We even got to pet the sting rays. I was super impressed. Completely worth going to visit!

A smallish BUT brilliant display of aquatic life. They have various exhibits ranging from the Amazon to the arctic. The staff is friendly and the displays informative. Your tour ends in the gift shop. But something to support the animals. There is plenty of paid parking across the road, or you can simply walk down.

We had a really nice experience visiting the aquarium in Dingle. It’s not very big, but it’s well laid out and easy to explore. The displays are interesting, with plenty of information, and the variety of marine life kept both adults and kids engaged. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, which added to the visit. It’s a great stop if you’re in the area, especially for families, and a lovely way to learn more about local sea life.

Lovely family visit. Highlights were Penguin feeding and the butterfly room but all enjoyable. Friendly young staff. Pay to park.

My wife and I visited the aquarium just as something to do as the weather was bad. It turned out to be a lovely experience. While it's compact enough there's still plenty to see and we were kept entertained for our 45 minute visit. Animals are fed at certain times of the day which is worth going to. The staff will let you know about these times. A special shout-out to the people working there, very friendly and full of info on the animals. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Dingle and looking for something to do. It seemed to be a big hit with families, we're big kids ourselves.

Really nice aquarium. The staff at the entrance were lovely. I liked the otter feeding a lot, the guy talking about the otters was great. The gift shop is also really good, they have a lot of different things. I bought a puffin stuffed animal, a penguin painted stone and a keychain. If I am ever back in Dingle, I will probably visit again!

Can’t believe this is in Ireland. Warmest North Atlantic water ever. Such a beautiful beach and drive there and back. Some roads are super narrow use caution.

This is the most beautiful beach I've seen in Ireland. Yellow sand, not gray, not shells, and not rocks. Wonderful yellow sand and warm ocean water. I'll definitely come back here again.

The graveyard is a beautiful thing to see. Public restroom, lifeguards and free to use beach games and toys for kids. Not many parking spots, the there are staff members here to help you find a spot. Highly recommend. Beware of jellyfish, they are many in the water.

A fantastic beach along the Ring Of Kerry ~ Stunning views & great walking trails 👣 😀 👍

Beautiful sandy beach, crystal clear water. Spectacular views especially at sunset.

One of the best beaches I have ever visited - bright blue waters, sandy beaches, rocks you can wander out on, and fairly well protected from the wind. Not too busy either!

A huge and beautiful beach, with some calmer areas for entering the water if you want.

March '25, cold and sunny day, the house was fresh. Due to on going works only 3 rooms open to the public. Each room has good explanations of the exhibits there in. I was reminded of history lessons of many moons ago. The carriage was a surprise.

Wonderful visit. The house is lovely with the furnishings, artifacts, displays, and video telling the history and story of Daniel O’Connell, but even if you have no interest in history you can thoroughly enjoy the building, period furnishings, and grounds. There are excellent gardens, a nice cafe tea house, and it’s basically right on Derrynane beach just over an elevation. I was generally familiar with O’Connell’s political role as the “Great Liberator” but it was interesting to learn more about his career as a successful barrister and his family history. Given how remote the house is by road in the era of cars it’s hard to imagine how the house was an active social scene and place of business back in the day.

Very nice historical site. Beautiful structures and gardens surrounding the area. On narrow roads getting there and back are a little tough.

If in the area of Caherdaniel this is a must visit. A well laid out museum to Daniel O'Connell in the house where he lived. Note that as of May 2025 some rooms are undergoing renovations and are not open to public. Entry to rooms that are open is free however. Nice cafe there and interesting walks around the house including a fairy trail. Derrynane beach is a short walk away and is stunning.

A lovely place to visit. Very accessible and gave a great feeling about what made the hose and location so special for Daniel O'Connell.

Wonderful historical home. Beautiful location. Interesting history.

Lovely old house, video of Daniel O'Connell's life, coffee shop, great variety of walks in the grounds, including a short path to the beach and all free of charge.

Highly suggest taking this road! It is very narrow in a few spots so keep that in mind if not comfortable. Waterfall + viewpoint has a nice parking area for a handful of vehicles. The upper viewpoint has a ton of parking! Sept 2024

Good place to take a quick break and enjoy the landscape. Good views and spend some time with the sheeps nearby if any. PS dont miss the Dingle town view.

Superb views and a car park at the top. Drive from Dingle is easy but once you are over the other side it gets a little more testy. You will need to use passing places. Do observe the 6ft width restriction - they really mean it. Well worth a trip

Breathtaking sights along the way, with plenty of hair pin turns and single lanes around the mountains. Ireland is the most beautiful place I've ever visited in my life.

Conor pass is beautiful. A bit tricky to drive but if you pay attention and respect the RULES of one track roads (i.e DO NOT PULL OVER TO TAKE PICTURES AT THE PASSING SPOTS) then you will have no issues. This pull over site has nice options for hikes up the hills next to it.

On a sunny day, any place in Ireland is a magic in wonderland. Mesmerising an breathtaking and we were lucky to be there on a sunny bright day. Stop and stare around and your won’t feel like driving anywhere

We read numerous reviews before venturing our way through Connor Pass. We drove from south to north in the late evening which we personally think helped ie. Tourists generally travel earlier in the day, it was dinner time and it looked less precarious than driving from north to south. Less for 3 or 4 spots where the roads narrowed, all drivers behaved rather considerately. All in all, we were glad we took this route and the drive turned out to be slightly easier than we expected!

Rossbeigh Strand, a stunning Blue Flag beach on the Ring of Kerry near Glenbeigh, is a true gem offering something for everyone. Its expansive stretch of golden sand, extending for approximately 7km, provides ample space for a variety of activities and boasts incredible panoramic views across Dingle Bay. For families, Rossbeigh is a fantastic choice. The beach is patrolled by lifeguards during the summer months, ensuring a safe environment for swimming. There's also a children's playground near the main car park, which is a big hit with younger visitors. Ample parking is available right at the beach entrance, making it very accessible. You'll also find public restrooms and outdoor showers, which are a great convenience after a dip in the sea. There are even picnic areas to enjoy a meal with a view. Beyond swimming and sunbathing, Rossbeigh is popular for long walks and runs, with the vast sandy expanse offering a refreshing coastal stroll. It's also a renowned spot for horse riding, with local stables offering treks along the shore, a truly magical experience. Water sports enthusiasts will find opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and even kite surfing. Nature lovers will appreciate the extensive sand dune system, which is part of the Castlemaine Harbour Special Area of Conservation and supports a rich variety of flora and fauna, making it a great spot for birdwatching. Rossbeigh Strand is well-maintained and offers excellent facilities, making it a highly recommended stop on your Kerry adventure, whether you're looking for a relaxing day by the sea or an active outdoor experience.

This is a beautiful beach . You can only walk on the strand when the tide is out great for swimmers . Horseback riding is allowed on the beach and you can rent horses . There are toilets at the entrance to the beach but you cannot get water . No camping allowed Dogs must be on a lead .

Beautiful clean beach with parking toilets and coffee treat shop

Great beach, but even in summer the water is cold. Still, it’s very beautiful — I recommend it.

I love this beach. Plenty B&B nearby, public toilet, pubs and restaurants. Playground also available. For short, this beach is really family friendly. Sadly, lifeguards is not always here though.

My family and I were staying nearby to this peach of a beach. Blue flag beach. Overlooked by Rossbeigh mountain. Plenty of parking for cars. Though a warning up not to leave valuables in your car. Toilets: yes. Outdoor showers: yes. Lifebuoys: yes. Bins: yes. Lifeguard on duty: today, yes. Picnic benches: yes. Sanddunes: yes. Wheelchair parking available. Dogwalkers aplenty. Kite flyers and beach sofa loungers. Horse trekking option. Fabulous playground and purpose built areas for tennis and soccor. Kids cone €1.75 & 99 icecream at €2.30 at Chósta Coffee. Coffees (Americano €2.90 & cappuccino €3), Crisps, buckets (€3.50 small & €4.50 for large) etc on sale here. Kids paradise. No cars allowed on the beach. What really impressed me was how clean it was given the steady traffic. Keep an eye on the tide. Breezy, changeable but beautiful. You can easily get your daily 10,000 steps in here.

I think i found the "mother load" of beautiful beaches closely situated along side gorgeous villages in co. Kerry 🇮🇪🤞🏖️. Tested the water in this heat wave 🔥 and it was exhilarating 🌊. So good to have my toes tickled by sea water and not freeze off. Definitely on the top #1 to fully explore. Mountains, historic venues and miles and miles of white sand to explore. Oh Lawdy Lawd 💪😎, this child is in sea heaven today. See you next time #Rossbeighbeach 🌊😎🏖️ #blissful #ringofkerry #beachesireland #workfromhome

What a fun place to stop! We got to meet the owner, John his daughter Caterina and son Tim who were all on site working and talking to customers. The history of this place is amazing. Definitely worth the stop!

Had an amazing time with My Ireland Tours. My husband and I really enjoyed the place, loved the dogs, the donkey, the horses, goats and the chicken. The Baileys hot chocolate was to die for.

We stopped here as part of our tour. What an interesting little village. I was impressed with how many buildings had been built to show what a bog village would have looked like. There are a couple of Irish wolfhounds onsite and they are massive dogs, more like small ponies!

Made a quick stop here on a bus tour of Kerry. Cute little inn with food and a shop and then the bog village museum. It's a little replica of an old town with buildings you can walk into, takes about 20-30 mins to walk through.

Very interesting place, showing such a simpler way of living even with things like window tax! Daylight robbery! Irish wolfhounds were lovely. And the smell of turf burning added to the experience. Well presented. Thank you!

We were in Ireland for a week and travelling round the Kerry Circle. When we found this wonderful place. The smell, the exhibitions. The horses. The donkey and the wolfhound were all great. Good history lesson in peat over the last 100 years and beyond.

Fun to see period village and Irish wolfhounds! Buy Irish coffee in The Red Fox pub attached to the village. Best example of good Irish coffee!!!

Stumbled across this place while taking a random drive through the hills. Gorgeous cafe with great food. Well worth a visit if you’re out this way. The gardens are impeccably maintained and laid out. The walk down to the lake is beautiful. All in all a really well maintained spot

Looking for a nice garden? Where flowers blossom next to a high variety of plants and trees and every inch detailed sculpted to perfection? Go somewhere else, do not come to this place. Want to connect to nature and feel it deep inside your heart? Come to this (secret) garden. Best garden I ever visited.

An absolutely lovely garden with wonderful species and views of the ocean. Visited during the rhododendron season and it was gorgeous. I loved the little fairy houses around the trails. Not busy at all on a Sunday.

Lovely Robinsonian type garden, pleasant staff and nice coffee. Planning on returning next year, the only quibble for me was the lack of seating around the paths as I'm not able to walk far and when we asked at the coffee shop the man said there was plenty of seats around.

Such a special place. The gardens are stunning, the café food is delicious and the staff are lovely! Sweet little gift shop too. An absolute must-visit for a walk/ lunch spot.

We found our way here more or less by accident and are happy we did! High tide paired with a slight drizzle and wind made for stunning sea views on the Broad Walk.

Absolutely stunning. There is simply no other words for it. Beautifully well kept. It's magical walking around a forest like this. Definitely worth a visit.

Really lovely spot. Short tour round the lighthouse as its small but very interesting history. We were hoping to see the basking sharks out in the sea but that apparently happened last week.😆

Well worth the drive along the stunning coastline to visit the lighthouse. We had a very informative guided walk to the top of the lighthouse for a fabulous view of the coastline. Lots of information and exhibits to see. There is a walk around the coastline from the lighthouse TIP, if you plan to walk around the coastline wear sensible footwear as the ground is a bit marshy in places, not terrible and you can navigate around the worst, but its worth the walk, the views are stunning on a good day. We visited mid September- opening hours for the tour are reduced late September so check before you visit if you want to enter the exhibition.

We visited back in August on a wild and windy west Clare day. The sun was shining and west Clare is particularly beautiful when the sun shines on it. Such a well maintained and clean place. Entry was very reasonable with little to no wait. We wandered around and learned a little bit of history about the place. How important it has been in the past, how tough and dedicated the lighthouse keepers needed to be. All in all a lovely tribute to an under appreciated vocation. We didn’t go up the lighthouse as it was very windy. The walk out around the peninsula is gorgeous. The waves were pounding into the cliffs below, the birds were screaming and singing, darting in and out of their cliff face nests, diving into the water or simply gliding and hovering in the gusts of wind. I could have watched them for hours on end. What a truly beautiful place. Ample parking, clean toilet facilities, a very clean premises and a nice cup of coffee to finish it all off. I really enjoyed myself. Definitely somewhere I would recommend.

We did not go to the lighthouse but were just walking around. Very nice place, beautiful views. Day was very very windy tho. Worth to visit.

A great lighthouse to visit, right at the end of the road. Not far from Kilkee, a nice place to stay. I had a wonderful tour guide full of great information about the lighthouse. With a tour guide you can climb right to the top and go outside for a fantastic view of all around the area.

Stayed in their self catered accommodation with my husband and our family and had the most delightful time. The tour of the lighthouse with the winds howling and the clouds passing over the cliffs was truly magical. The nature and hiking in the area was phenomenal. The staff working the lighthouse were so friendly and took great care of my nan. We have such happy memories watching scary movies in the sitting room sipping Bovril by candlelight and playing board games with a winter Atlantic storm raging outside. Truly a great place for the romantics out there who love cozy, historic and out of the way places.

Totally awesome active Fresnel lighthouse. The 4 tonne lens sits in a bed of mercury to keep it level and rotating nearly frictionless. A marvel of engineering and one of few active lights that haven’t been modernized with LED’s and remote electronics. The lighthouse keeper gave an awesome and informative tour

A lovely beach ⛱️ 😍 and a great location to walk around. It's a sandy beach, great fun for children to create their sandcastles 🏰 😀 It can be crowded during a summer day, and parking is adequate there.

What an amazing beach! The carpark is just on the beach, you could sit in your car and watch the waves if you’d like. Lovely long walks I walked about 8 km and that wasn’t even the full length of the beach. So beautiful and a must visit. There are also public toilets near by, just up the road a little. Lovely for swimming and lovely little waves for a buggy board. There is a lovely surf school with amazing teachers such as Elise.

Majestic views, beautiful sand, and so many cool rocks. Water was crystal clear. There is a nice sized parking lot where you can also relax with a view if desired. Lots of trash/recycling bins available as well. One of my favorite places we saw on our trip -- highly recommend if you have time.

Great access and parking. Also superb for fishing once the sea weed isn't too bad (it can be brutal) Be aware that swimmers and surfers rule the roost here but if you can find a quiet spot there is some great Bass and Flounder fishing to be had.

What a gorgeous beach. Lots of parking, an outdoor shower to wash off at. A ramp down onto the beach. Extremely clean and I saw a few bins around. There’s a clean bathroom unit a little up from the beach. There was 3 or 4 little vans at the beach that sell ice cream, coffee and beach things like buckets and spades etc The water was so clear aswell. The weather wasn’t the best when we were there, but I’d say it’s lovely on a sunny day.

Beautiful beach where you can walk South to Tralee Golf Course (Barrow Beach) and North to Ballyheigue Beach...People mistake the small photo display as the Roger Casement memorial for which you need to turn left after the caravan park on the right,which is approximately 500m before you reach the beach itself

My favourite beach in Co Kerry. There is 7 miles approx of beautiful sandy beach to walk and explore. Its backed by grass covered sand dunes, which have a trail running along them which is great if the tide is completely in and you still fancy a walk by the sea shore. It's a great beach to experience no matter what the weather is like. It looks as stunning on a wet day as it does on a sunny day. Great beach for surfing as well if the conditions are right. There is also surfboard & wetsuit hire during the summer month's for only a fiver. Icecream van there as well during the summer season.

We stopped at this beautiful gallery to ask about where to buy coffee & learned that there was a water problem in the whole area so no coffee was available!! The two women owners could not have been more warm & welcoming! I found a basket of charming little cleric cottages wrapped in newspaper that their father/father-in-law had sculpted in the 1970s! I couldn't resist buying 2 and surely wish I had purchased more. While we were looking around, one of the woman gave our youngest granddaughter a 'fortune telling fish' and simply captivated her! This is a gem of a place on the way to the Loop Head Lighthouse. This unexpected stop was one of the highlights of our trip!!

A true gem along the Wild Atlantic Way. The Kilbaha Gallery offers a wide range of locally produced art, jewelry and similar items along with wonderful treats made fresh onsite. The coffee is especially good and the hospitality even better. Make it a point to stop in and say hello to Ailish and Liz on your way to visit the Lamp Head lighthouse.

Mostly contemporary art, and lots of it. The originals are rather expensive, too. But they also have art prints and smaller originals that are quite affordable. The owners are a delight to talk to, and if you are on your way to the Loop Head Lighthouse anyway, stop by and take a look - it is an interesting and delightful experience.

Such an inspiring destination. Full of colour and warmth. A wonderful display of art to enjoy as well as beautiful gifts and homewares. Not to be missed.

I Purchased through the online shop for an international delivery very happy with my purchase & service provided by KG, timely delivery, well packaged, great communication Quality Quality Quality.

This place is the gem of Loophead. Incredible art pieces by Irish artists, and always a welcoming place to chat with the owners about art, local activities, local culture and history ... Definitely worth a visit and 100% must-do.

You are guaranteed a warm welcome here. Amazing art and wonderful coffee.

It’s a neat spot, but it is a ways out past Kilkee cliffs, and we agreed it probably wasn’t worth the extra 45 minutes of driving. The bridge is a decent walk on grass paths from the parking area.

Great stop to see the cliffs along the coast and the remaining natural Bridge. Parking was not an issue. The hike to see the Bridge of Ross was to the south end. The views were amazing. No cost to park and go to the coast.

WHY VISIT THESE CLIFFS? 1. This area is nothing short of a fabulous playground for adults and kids alike. Everything is here: crashing waves, caves, fluffy grass, gravel, boulders, easily climbable layers of rock, and of course, the cliffs. 2. This area is an explorer's dream. It is easy to explore both above and below. Extreme caution should be used, of course, however, there are many spots to easily move between the cliff tops lower shoreline. 3. Crowds are little to none as this is not a touristy area. 4. For those not exploring, it's a great place to relax and chill for a while. Though limited, there are a few benches and picnic tables. 5. Free parking lot. ---- WHY AVOID THESE CLIFFS? Honestly, I can come up with no reasons. This area is the best!

It’s a large flat carpark with easy access for vehicles, large and small. Motorhomes can also stop over night.

I had the best time ever on this sunny day ! At the carpark you walk to yhe right, there is a safe and good trail that reach the beach in a few minutes. Everything tou need is there, rockformations, shells, giant rockplates. After exploring this i went up to the carpark and did a little walk towards the bigger cliffs, it was great and not so crowded with peole you will have on the bigger locations!

Nice size parking area and information boards to give you the history of the area. Great little walk to see the bridge and impressive geology.

Good free place to park. Lovely walk along the cliffs, and there is access to the pebble beach. It's great for a dip in the sea.

This spot was amazing! We spent our last full day in Ireland following part of the red and purple trails here. We were a group ranging from 4 to nearly 70 snd everyone loved it! The views are amazing! We loved walking with the sheep, that was the highlight for my two girls. The host at the reception at the entrance was super helpful in helping us to decide which hike to do and even provided my girls with some lollipops! We loved it here, definitely a must do if in the area!

Absolutely beautiful. Lady at reception was so friendly as well. Perfect 2hr hike if you're in the area. We did the purple trail and then joined the red trail back around. Would highly reccomend

Amazing views on any trail wht you pick. Proper boots need for the yellow trail. The purple is lovely heritage trail. River walk available The red trail touch the top of the waterfall. Enjoy

Incredible place, so many beautiful spots and angles for photos. Do pack some good waterproof shoes if visiting. The routes are really well organised and marked and the park owners/staff were very welcoming and helpful. A unique example of Ireland's spirit!

We discovered this beautiful park almost by accident as we found ourselves with a half day in the are we were not expecting. We were delighted to discover that our dog was welcome. The road in is exhilarating and a really fun drive. Sheila is fantastic and although we arrived at 4.30, we were assured that there was no problem setting off at that time. We didn't really have any proper walking gear with us so she recommended we do the Heritage trail which takes about an hour. We took a bit longer as we loitered at the punch bowl lake and the beautifully evocative famine cottage . I would 100% recommend a half day or full day here if you have the time. Bring a picnic! €7 entry is a bargain! Thanks Sheila and family

Fabulous views. The red trail is a good hike … recommend starting from the waterfall as that’s the hardest part done first and then you can really enjoy the views on the way down. The yellow route has the steeper part done by the time you get to the divergence of the route into left for Red & right for yellow (waterfall start). There’s still climbing/scrambling over rocks and inclines but wow, the views. You definitely need boots for the yellow and would recommend for red too as rocky and mucky in parts. Both trails are easy to follow. You’ll feel tired & elated at the end!

Oh my- what a wonderful decision to stop at Gleninchaquin Park on our Ring of Beara Drive! We drove into the most beautiful Irish vista of a sheep filled valley, a stunning waterfall and green mountains. Síla and her family were the most gracious hosts - so welcoming and helpful as we planned our time there and for the rest of our day on the Beara Peninsula. We chose to hike the red loop up to a lovely mountain lake and while part of our group turned on to the purple loop featuring a famine home, the rest of us continued on the red loop to hike up the mountain above the waterfall. On our way back down we were thrilled to walk through sheep grazing and lazing on the mountainside with their lambs. We ended our hike with the charming river path. All of the trails were so well marked and every vista was beautiful- so beautiful that our daughter’s boyfriend decided it was the perfect place to propose!

Family visit to see "The Clockmaker's Daughter".. it was absolutely fantastic! Yet another great trip to Siamsa. Can't wait for the Panto season.

We were at the children's play Aladdin, the impressions were very mixed. The main character, Kai's wife, was played by a man. The child asked for two days why the man put on lipstick and a bra. I didn't even know what to answer. Didn't the theater really have a woman for this role? The actor is great, but this is inappropriate for a children's play. And the second time they doused me with water pistols so much that my daughter burst into tears from insult. Why they doused me so much is also unclear. We didn't come to a water park. In general, the theater is good, but it's too much for children

Excellent venue, very chatty and helpful staff, and a brilliant venue. Great for the audience and the performers alike. They also support Irish music and Irish creatives- it’s a great spot and a huge amenity for the town of Tralee.

Went to see the phantom of the opera opening night. It was a good show, the microphones kept cutting out and the phantom nearly dropped Christine so a bit awkward but apart from that they put on a very good show. Amazing singers. A little humour added to the overall enjoyment of the show. A very nice evening drinks before the show made it even better.

Lovely venue, right at the edge of the park and town centre

Great venue and a perfect location

Wonderful Theatre in Tralee Co Kerry.

Fantastic Museum. On the top floor we were able to discover the history of Ireland and Kerry beginning with the stone age all the way to Ireland becoming a Republic. Lots of facts and interesting artifacts on display and life size models of different characters throughout history. There's a room dedicated to the famous explorer Tom Crean. In the basement there's a fantastic medieval town where you can walk through and there's models and buildings etc, sounds and smells of medieval Tralee town. There was originally a car on a track that would take you around but its long gone, I remember visiting it as a child , you can even see the old track marks on the ground, which I found nostalgic. The staff were very friendly and informative and we were made feel very welcome. It was a really nice experience. We spent over 90 min inside as there was so much to take in.

Great way to spend a good 2 hours in Tralee and learn about the local history of the city. Its only a 5EUR (£4.60p) entry and has a really amazing Medieval Village display in the basement which was awesome to look around! There is also a temporary exhibit that updates every few months, and they were preparing an exhibit on ballgowns when I was there, but it was closed as it was not ready.

Great, affordable, educational fun!! I love this place so much!!! I had a medieval wedding last year and I took my photos here. I can't find my original review but it's worth saying it again. This place is great!! There's loads to see. There's lots of genuine artifacts and the space is very cleverly laid out. It takes you on a journey back in time through local history. So naturally a great place for students or any history buffs. There's so much attention to detail. When I was there, there was a lady in authentic medieval dress. Who I think can make trips out to schools to educate students about history. They even supply tunics for kids to fit in with the time period. The highlight for me is the bottom floor. It's a replica medieval town. It's incredibly well done. All my wedding photos look like some sort of fantasy film! So I cannot recommend this place more. There's something for everyone!! You don't have to be super into history. The staff are lovely and it's a great place to look around and get some really cool photos!! Especially now coming up to Halloween.

Very friendly end welcoming staff!!! Loads of activities for kids end parents, well worth visiting,Brilliant Museum!!!!

My husband had a hospital appointment so me and my 15yr old son was looking for something to do so we found this museum and it was very interesting and wasn't expensive if your ever near there would be worth going into see it 🙂

Part of the museum was closed for refurbishment, and that's no bad thing. The pre-1900 sections are a bit dated, while the 1916 period section that focuses on Roger Casement was very good, despite some grammatical mistakes in the information panels (spelling incorrectly the name of one of the Proclamation signatories is/was unforgivable). Hopefully interactive technology will play more of a part in the future. A room focusing on the GAA in Kerry would be a good addition (in my humble opinion).

As an overgrown child, I loved the medieval exhibition experience it’s super immersive, as someone who wanted to experience something like this, 20/10 would recommend. Be warned the figures are a bit creepy

A wonderful, safe, and vibrant space for children to play and explore! Tralee Town Park Playground is beautifully maintained with a wide variety of equipment to suit all ages. There's plenty of seating for parents, shaded areas, and soft surfaces for added safety. The whole park has a peaceful, welcoming feel — perfect for a family day out. Surrounded by lovely gardens and walking paths, it’s a true gem in the heart of Tralee. Highly recommend for families and carers alike!

Kids loved the playground, lots of items to play on. Clean and tidy area

Excellent facilities in the middle of a lovely park. There is public toilets on site but where closed from 12pm to 6pm for cleaning, as the sign said. Seems a bit Irish to me. Was able to use the toilets in the Kerry County Museum.

Closed for 3 weeks till 21.07.25 for reconstruction

Maoilin, GalwayBeautiful playground for kids and lovely park for adults of all ages to walk, jog, run and cycle on the pathways through different plant and gigantic trees, situated very near to the city centre and just adjacent to the Kerry county museum

It's lovely park only for fact that there are always older kids or teenagers hanging around

good playground but teenagers and travellers ruin it even more. nobody follows the rules and once i tripped over a ball really badly when i was mid air

Well worth visiting! I dropped into WaterWorld Watersports to pick up a snorkeling mask, fins, and gloves—and I was thoroughly impressed. Aileen provided outstanding customer service and really knows her stuff. Her product knowledge is second to none, clearly coming from years of firsthand experience testing the gear herself. She offered excellent advice on how to get the most out of my equipment and how to care for it properly. A very genuine, knowledgeable person and a pleasure to chat with. I’ll definitely be back!

Amazing sevice from Waterworld Bought my first wetsuit dealt with Aileen she was brilliant has a world of knowledge and was super helpful, really patient with all my questions about sizes and materials. She made sure I got the perfect fit and the perfect wetsuit that i needed which is a game-changer. The quality is top-notch !! Highly recommend Waterworld for anyone looking for a wetsuit!" and a special thank you to Aileen

The most positive shopping experience my two primary school aged children have ever had! Aileen was absolutely fantastic sorting them out with swimming googles and very mindful of one who needed prescription googles. She went above and beyond to help and I couldn't recommend her and her shop highly enough.

Aileen in Waterworld Tralee has been so helpful and knowledgeable in the service she provides. I have bought many items from her over the last few years , even over the phone she has been able to advise me on the correct sizes and has kindly posted wetsuits out to me . Top class service and i couldn’t recommend her shop enough. Well done and thank you!

An absolute gem of a service run by a gem of a lady. Aileen has a wealth of knowledge and takes more care with fitting a wetsuit than others would fitting a wedding dress, great attention to detail. Could not recommend this shop enough, thank you for everything.

Great service and knowledge, great selection of wetsuits, you will find there everything for your swim for good price and feel of definitely coming back again, thank you very much Aileen:)

My name is Marguerite I called into the gorgeous Aileen Fitzgibbon today at Waterworld Rock St. Tralee she's the most interesting encouraging person I've ever met regarding knowledge and advice on open water swimming. Aileen has endless quality stock at keen prices. A mention to Colleen whom I met on a previous visit she was also amazing.

One of my favorite places in Ireland that offers a majestic driving experience with out of the world views. If you pair it with a quite season and sunny time, you will be blown away by this place. Its such a vibe and peacefull place. I highly recommend not to miss this place.

The most amazing spot in Ireland that I visited. Breathtaking views. During peak season, do no recommend driving but rather take a bike, hike or take the horse carriage. If you do wanna drive, do it early in morning or later in the day when traffic has died down

Beautiful road leads to wonderful views. Lots of horse buggies travelling around here so dont drive too fast and be careful. Highly recommended to visit!

This has to be one of the best sceneries I have ever seen, nature at its best. We took an early morning walk around 8:30am from Kate Kearney's cottage to the wishing bridge, return trip is about 4km, very easy to walk, hardly anyone around at that time of the day, a few jaunting car & horses clip clops went pass, you can take as much photos as you please of this magical place. You can drive but extremely narrow single lane, jaunting car & horses, walkers, also cars coming from the other direction as well, much easier to take a walk.

Beautiful, definitely recommend getting there early as it gets busy. Locals do cut through for work, including tractors so be mindful! Lovely area, peaceful and mostly untouched. Sept 5, 2024.

Stunning views driving through this pass, & Black Valley to Moll’s Gap. We went in the evening so there wasn’t much traffic. The road is paved but narrow with frequent pull outs so vehicles can pass when meeting each other.

A really nice walk. We didn’t through the whole gap, but just walking half an hour/hour in one direction and then coming back. Great views, the echo is also fun and just enjoying the walk.

Great view but even better 100m higher up the road. Was asked by the manager to move from the ‘private’ car park even though it wasn’t full. Did us a favour really as the parking further up had better views. He didn’t ask if we were going into the cafe/restaurant/shop just asked us to move. Will get our ice creams at Molls Gap as suggested by a previous person

This is a small cafe on the Ring of Kerry overlooking a valley with water bodies and meadows, stunning views. The cafe serves coffee, tea, ice cream and snacks which are reasonably tasty... has outside sitting as well. Good parking space in the front as well as on the sides. They also sell mementos A nice place to take a break as one explores ring of kerry.

Friendly staff, great coffee and delicious rhubarb crumble. The roof terrasse, is fantastic for a little break while enjoying the view. It's worth a stop!

The cafe has a very lovely staff, amazing smelling food and tasty coffee. There is a rooftop lookout as well.

Stunning location. The staffs are very helpful. The food was just ok. We tried a pizza here and it was too bland. They also have a roof area, the view from there is great. There is also enough car parking space. The toilets are not cleaned enough.

Tuna melt was yum, toasties also very good and the soup gets 100 points (according to my son), coffee also very good.

Come for the view, but don't leave without trying the scones! My cousins and I -- international experts (admittedly self-appointed . . .) on scones -- thought they were superb. When we sent our compliments to the baker, Carol O'Shea, she came out and visited with us, and was as lovely as the view. Great family owned and operated cafe -- I would give it 10 stars if I could!

Nice for a walk and unwind after touring all day. Nice wide paths so easy interaction with push bike riders. And little side tracks to take in the view of the water or lake

Very beautiful park located in the Killarney area. The park itself is very big and has several point of entries. Regardless of where you go in, its nature will be as good. Highly recommend to take advantage of the beautiful walking trails and enjoy the views.

Breathtaking Beauty - Killarney National Park Driving through Killarney National Park was truly stunning! The park's breathtaking scenery, with its lakes,mountains, and woodlands, took our breath away. We enjoyed the scenic drive, taking in the picturesque views and stopping at the various lookout points. Highlights: - Stunning Scenery: Breathtaking views of lakes, mountains, and woodlands - Scenic Drive:Enjoyable drive with plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the views - Wildlife Spotting: Caught glimpses of local wildlife, adding to the experience Killarney National Park is a natural gem in Ireland's southwest. Whether you're a nature lover or simply seeking stunning views, this park is a must-visit.

What a peaceful place. Such a great wee spot to stop, take in the peace and tranquility. If you get the chance e, stop in say a prayer if that's your thing or just walks the grounds and reflect on lost ones.... such peace

VAST! We didn't even go to the more famous ones, muckross and torc waterfall but it took us half a day where we were! I could be in here for days!!! Beautiful nature, well marked trail, well maintained but kept wild.

Beautiful sites and very peaceful. Plenty of walking trails, and boat tours of the lake are offered. We also saw a few adorable deer!

The Nationalpark is a wonderful place to take a stroll and to relax at the seas or at the different locations where you can have a nice cup of tea or coffee while having a wonderful view at the rich and beautiful landscape.

Loved that history has been preserved and the building restored. Note you cannot take photos inside the castle on the tour. Disappointed as I planned on showing photos to my Godmother once back home but have awesome photos of the outside and grounds. The scenery is breathtaking and the castle tour guide was great. We only had to wait 45 mins for next tour we just missed it.

Beautifully restored fortified house. Entrance is via a guided tour for 5 euro but there's no pictures allowed inside. Our tour guide Lynn made the tour very interesting & explained what life would be like for those lucky enough to love in the castle. The area around the castle is lovely, there was a family of swans about, and some lovely green space to walk & explore

Gorgeous! Take the tour for 5€, it's about 45 minutes. I also took the boat ride out to the island that Ireland's history was written on, Innisfallen island.It's all quite special, especially if you are Irish. There is a snack shack around back with loads of picnic tables.

It'd beautiful, well maintained with lost of attraction on the side. There is also lots boat ride to nearby Innisfallen Island (it's a must see). The kids will like it here as there are many trails and things to keep them busy.

My husband and I really enjoyed exploring the grounds as well as taking the guided tour of the rebuilt interior. The cost for the tour is 5 euro. There is a free room that gives the history of the tower house as well as a model of the tower to the left of the counter where you purchase tickets. They prefer for you to pay in euros. You can attempt to use a card but itay or may not work depending on the cloud cover according to the clerk. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the tower. There is a cafe outside with picnic tables. We found a path on the other side of the cafe into the woods just a bit and you could get closer to the edge of the water for pictures and enjoy the view. There were ducks and swans at the edge of the water. Very cute to watch.

This was very lovely , unfortunately we arrived a little late to go on a tour Which is the only way you can go around inside the Castle . But there was a very informative museum room telling you all about the history and we could walk around the outside . This was a very vibrant area place with pony and trap rides and also boat trips. Lots of people walking and enjoying the site and view

Please do not skip this stop if you are in Killarney. Take the tour! This is a restored castle fort built in the 1400’s in the Norman tradition. We really enjoyed the narration by the docent and walking through the resorted castle. It is not the luxury castles that came later. This is more of a survival mode type but gives a good idea of how people lived back then. Highly recommended.

We spent the day exploring Killarney National Park. Torc Waterfall was a lovely little stop. We found the parking lot easily. From there it's about a 5 minute easy walk to the falls. The forest is incredible. It was almost like being in a surprise tropical rain forest. It was amazing how the landscape of this immediate area is so different from other parts of the area. The trees are covered with moss. There are giant ferns all over the place. I think there were about a hundred different colors of green. It was glorious. The falls themselves are beautiful. Lots of visitors but people were very polite.

A gorgeous waterfall. We stopped here because our tour bus took us to this location and we are really glad that he did! A simple stop but yet a beautiful waterfall and stream leading from it.

Don't be lazy and walk up to the top and into the park. There you'll be surrounded by the scent of nature. Nature will show you its beauty.

Nice circular walk. Waterfall itself easy to access. Is crowded but not prohibitively so. We parked in an alternative parking area 5 min walk away. The walking trail was nice. No charge to park.

The waterfall is amazing but the spot is very touristic and even in october on a random thursday it was crowded. You only need to walk about 200m from parking lot and it’s an easy path.

A hidden gem in Killarney. It's just about 5min (200m) walk away from the car park. Another great work of nature. Took some pictures at the first level. There is another higher grounds which I didn't see. You'll love the woods here as they have a story to tell. There is a toilet facility very close to the car park and the National Park is just opposite. The Torc Waterfall is close to other great works of life in Co. Kerry so create sufficient time for your visit.

This waterfall appears to be the main attraction, but there are numerous paths to climb and explore in the surrounding area. I recommend renting a bike for a day to fully enjoy the bottom area and its surroundings.

Other worldly. Entering the house is like going back into a moment of time. Horse drawn carriages passing by the lake infront of the house, the majestic trees that line the victorian gardens, all add to the feeling that life here was a real privilege.

Used to come to muckross on family holiday as a child and recently returned as an adult with my own family. Charm and beauty are timeless. Stunning grounds, plenty of parking, self paced tour with information shared by staff in every room. The details and beauty are hard not to appreciate long after your visit. Cafe has great food and beverage options. Farms are closed seasonally beginning in November which is something to keep on mind if that's of interest. Honestly visiting in early November meant very few crowds which was great. Highly recommend during your trip to Killarney, like 11k others have also shared 😀

Really enjoyed the serenity in and around Muckross house. We didn’t have time to walk on many of the trails, but still had time to view the natural beauty surrounding the home. Such a peaceful little hour. Highly recommend to check it out if you’re in the area in Ireland.

Nicely taken care of property. Well worth the visit. We enjoyed the buildings and talking to the staff who were knowledgeable and willing to share information about the house and former residents. It’s a great stop and pleasant grounds.

Wow! Wow! It was my first house, more like a castle - I have visited! So, well looked after! Amazing, each room with its own story. Precisly after watch "house of Guiness" apparently Edward Arthur Guiness owned the house for some time. Highly recommend to visit! And ask ppl working there about the house story! We were amazed how much they can tell.

Well priced for all that you get to see and learn. The booklet guide is very useful from room to room. The exhibit attendants were full of knowledge about each room as well as very polite and helpful sharing their favorite parts and other stories not in the guidebook.

We had a fantastic time visiting Muckross House, the Traditional Irish Farm, and the stunning surrounding grounds. The house itself is beautifully preserved, full of history, and offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland’s past. The Traditional Farm was equally enjoyable, with charming cottages, demonstrations, and farm animals that really bring rural life from years gone by to life. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking , perfect for a leisurely walk, taking in the gardens, woodlands, and lakeside views. Everywhere we went felt peaceful and well cared for. All of the staff we met were warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, it was a brilliant day out, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area, whether you’re interested in history, nature, or simply looking for a lovely place to spend the day.
