7:58 PM LOCAL TIMEKillarney National Park is a treasured corner of Ireland, where lapwings call across wind-battered lakes and cast-iron bridges cross rushing streams. The park combines glacial lakes like Lough Leane and Muckross Lake with steep mountains, notably Carrauntuohill and Beenkeragh, offering opportunities from gentle lakeside walks to challenging summit climbs. The former estate of Muckross House and the nearby Traditional Farms preserve Ireland’s rural architectural heritage, while Ross Castle tells tales of medieval Gaelic lordship. To get beneath the surface, look for signs of *native Fagus sylvatica*** (European beech) alongside introduced species, and listen for the roar of water over Torc Falls and Innisfallen Island's quiet pilgrimage routes.
