KILLARNEY – A WALKER’S PARADISE

With 26,000 Acres of “free to roam” Killarney National Park surrounded by Kerry’s wonderful landscapes and wilderness, miles of nearby golden “blue flag” beaches, there are few places elsewhere on this earth that can offer the outdoor enthusiast such wonderful choice within such an intimate and hospitable location. It is said that “in Killarney, you will find different walking route for every day in the year”. This may be an exaggeration, but only just !!

At any time of year, with or without guides, walkers can choose from low level parkland walks around beautiful lakes and through some of Ireland’s oldest Oakwoods, to higher level hill walks on old coach roads and bridle paths, For the more adventurous, take on the 3000 feet + summits of the “iconic”

MacGillicuddy Reeks. Long and short “linear” walks including some of the pioneering “waymarked” walks like the Kerry Way and the Dingle Way can be navigated in full or in part. Killarney has a plethora of “loop walks” where walkers return to the start point without recovering their steps – some can be completed in 30 minutes while others can take 4+ hours.

FOR ALL THE WALKING ROUTS MAPS CAN BE PROVIDED AT RECEPTION
