Killarney National Park

Ireland’s Oldest & Largest National Park

If you were to gather the most magnificent elements of Irish scenery into one spot, it would probably look very much like Killarney National Park. Home to Ireland’s highest mountains, its only wild herd of native red deer, its largest tract of ancient oak forests, and its most famous lakes, Killarney National Park is 25,000 acres of unspoilt wilderness.

Ask our friendly and knowledgeable Concierge team about the best places to go to suit your interests and available time. Whether you fancy a gentle hike beside the thundering cascade of Torc Waterfall or a more challenging climb up Carrauntouhil, we can offer sensible advice and insider tips. The terrain covers everything from the manicured lawns of Killarney House & Muckross Gardens to the dense woods and bogs of the park’s wilder reaches Ireland’s Oldest & Largest National Parks.

Discover the best spots to see the glacial Lough Leane, Muckross Lake, and the Upper Lake, the famous trip that takes up about a quarter of the Park. Favourite viewing spots include Ladies View and Aghadoe. Get closer to the lakes, and, if you’re lucky, you might get to see deer swimming out to graze on the islands, salmon leaping on a summers evening, or even a white-tailed sea eagle soar majestically overhead.

With the luxurious facilities of The Killarney Park within easy reach, you won’t be short of dining and relaxation options after experiencing the magic that is Killarney National Park.

A great way to see and experience Killarney National Park and discover our natural and historic heritage is on foot. There are many accessible trails and paths throughout the National Park.

Please note our National Park operates a policy of “Leave No Trace”. This means leave the Park as you found it, leave nothing behind, remove your rubbish and keep the National Parks clean and healthy for everybody to enjoy.

Protecting nature is the main aim of our National Park. Conservation work goes hand in hand with responsible outdoor recreation and visitors can help play their part by following these 7 seven principles from Leave No Trace Ireland:

  • Plan Ahead and Prepare
  • Be Considerate of Others
  • Respect Farm Animals and Wildlife
  • Travel and Camp on Durable Ground
  • Leave What You Find
  • Dispose of Waste Properly
  • Minimise the Effects of Fire
