Along the famously scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry in Ireland, one of the best places to stop in at is Killarney National Park. Both the first national park in Ireland and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, there’s a lot of natural beauty. But Killarney National Park also has its fair share of history due to important heritage sites like Ross Castle and the mansion of Muckross House. The national park is focused around Lough Leane lake, and the smaller Muckross Lake to the south, although you’ll find mountains and forests as well. Killarney National Park is ideal for those looking to go hiking and cycling, with attractions like Torc Waterfall a great reason to get you out on the park’s tracks.
