What a beautiful park! The views are outstanding and there is a variety of things to do in the park. While we were there we drove around a turn and found our car surrounded by a herd of sheep and a sheep herder and sheep dog. It was like something out of a movie. It made me really feel like... More

These are the photos that you will show friends when you get back home. When is Ireland, make this area a key drive for your itinerary. It has gorgeous views. We really enjoyed the portion between Killarney and Kenmare. We also drove into dunloe gap area for a walk and lots of magnificent scenery.

We took a horse drawn cart into the forest and it was lots of fun and entertaining. Our driver, Bill, was fantastic and posed a little bit of the blarney. The Ross Castle ruins were amazing. Highly recommend it!

A great number of trails to walk. Some easy, and some more strenuous. We were surprised by the seclusion in some areas. The views are spectacular, and now one can see why Killarney Provincial Park, Ontario bears the name.

We took the horse-drawn jaunting car trip through the park. Our guide was very entertaining and informative. We were able to see the largest of the lakes and had a good view of Ross Castle. It was a nice break from bus travel.

This is a huge park and very lovely, indeed. Within walking distance of many hotels and located a block or two from the downtown. I think it is 23 acres but could be more. Beautiful flowers, tons of trees, birds, etc. Don't miss it!
