The tour of Ross Castle was very nice and gave you a real understanding about what all these castles are about! But the boat ride to the island (10 euros/person) was a great one hour excursion and well worth the time and cost.

A substantial stone tower which looked very forbidding on the dark day when I visited. It is a pleasant jaunting car ride from Killarney town. Didn't go into the castle but there is a shop and tearoom.

Excellent guided visit by professionals extremely interesting and detailed guided tour, the area around the castle is excellent for walking and I believe one can visit the nearby islands but unfortunately the weather did not permit this during our visit. We a group of nine French people liked everything and have no critisims of this site or its guides

We loved our visit to Ross Castle. The grounds were so peaceful and we enjoyed strolling around the grounds and through the castle taking photos and talking with some of the locals who were walking their dogs or feeding the ducks. It's well worth a visit to see this lovely castle.

This is a reconstruction of the castle laid out internally as it would have been. The guide was very good, and the castle is Fab.

I have been to lots of castles in Ireland but I like the tour here best because of the excellent way the guides explain life as it would have been when the castle was in period use. It is also well maintained and in a beautiful setting on the edge of one of the Killarney lakes. There are usually a...

If you are walking in the Killarney National Park, this is an easy place to reach and worth the visit. It is very accessible if you are staying in Killarney town and the walk to reach the ruins is so very pleasant. You can also take a jaunting car there which is lots of fun and the driver does allow...
