For enthusiasts and the more fair weather walkers. There are loads of different levels of walk from the easy to the challenging and to be honest you can't go far wrong, everything is well signposted but pick up a little map from the information office near to Muckross House and you can see which dort of route might suit best....

We could have spent more time exploring! We saw the ruins of two abbies, Ross Castle, and the grounds of the Muckross house (in one day). We could have easily spent a second day. More

I was a little concerned when we decided to visit here as I have knee and back trouble, and a few days previously had done something fairly terrible to my back, but I was delighted to find that the park is clearly posted as to easy going routes and harder routes, and isn't over-developed with ice cream vans everywhere like...

This is a beautiful nature park easy to walk or ride a bike. We rode through most of the park and stopped to enjoy the water and mountain views. More

This is a truly beautiful place to visit, and the park is free, though you would have to pay to visit the house. There are jaunty cars available for a price for those who wish to use them but we just wandered around and enjoyed the scenery and peaceful setting More

An area of natural and untamed beauty which could be visited during several days but unfortunately we just passed through. An area not just to visit on a sunny day but also on cloudy days when its mystery is shrouded in cloud and mists and one can imagine being in centuries gone by. We liked everthing and have no negative... More

Thick and luxuriant trees and shrubs, with decent walks of varying length. You have to enter the park to get to the hotel. More
