Don't miss the horse drawn cart tour to the castle ruins. The drive thru the forest was lovely and the driver, Bill, was very entertaining. Brilliant!

Even though we were pressed for time and only did an outside walk around - beautiful and worth the stop.

Ross Castle, in Killarney National Park, sits at the lake's edge looking across to the mountains and forestry. It's relatively easy to find and well worth the visit!
