Killarney is one of the best places in Ireland to explore the outdoors. The town is nestled in a valley with a magnificent landscape of lakes and mountains. Don't miss the park's three lakes: the Lower Lake surnamed "the lake of learning", the "Middle Lake" or "Muckross Lake," and the "Upper Lake." Another landmark is the Ross Castle, a square medieval tower which was built by the O' Donoghues in the 15th century, situated on the shores of Lough Lein. Muckross House and Gardens are also worth a visit.  (close)
