Killarney National Park, in the province of Munster, was established in 1932 to protect one of Ireland’s most precious natural habitats. Beneath the wild, rugged summits of the country’s highest mountains, it encloses a beautiful sylvan landscape of ancient woodland, spectacular waterfalls and quiet lakes. A great place to start exploring is the Muckross Estate, 5km south of Killarney Town on the famous Ring of Kerry.
