Things to do in Killarney

I stayed in Killarney for two nights, and I went cycling one day. I started from the town at noon and followed the route given by the owner of the rental shop. I rode about 30 kilometers. Including the time to stop and visit various attractions, I was able to return to the town at about 6 o'clock in the evening. Cycling is a little tiring but very fun. Ireland is originally sparsely populated, and it seems that this mountain forest is yours. Avoid going in winter, it will be scary in the forest when it gets dark early~

Muckross house and garden is one of the most important attractions in Killarney. It was originally a private estate of Irish nobles, but now it has become a public garden. The castle building is very magnificent, and there are also beautiful gardens. In spring and summer, flowers bloom here, the lawn is flat, and the air is very fresh. It is definitely worth a visit.

Killarney National Park is located near the town of Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland. It is the first national park established in Ireland. Its predecessor was Muckross Villa, which was donated to the Irish Free State in 1932. Later, the park was greatly expanded. This national park is really too big! It is nearly 103 square kilometers (more than 100 million hectares)! It mainly revolves around a huge lake: Lough Leane. The park is rich in flora and fauna. It has the only native red deer herd in Ireland and the largest existing virgin forest. However, due to limited time, we were unable to visit the entire park in detail. We just stayed in a B&B near the national park and took a walk by the lake when the sun set, which was also an experience of this place.

This is St. Mary's Cathedral, a nearly 200-year-old building in the west of Killarney. It is a typical Gothic-Renaissance building. The church looks very grand and majestic, and its tall spire is its symbol. It is also one of the most important churches in Killarney, so don't miss it.
