Closest Hotels to Killarney National Park:
Killarney National Park covers over 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) of woodland, lakes, mountains, parks and gardens in the far southwest of Ireland. It was Ireland’s first national park and was founded in 1932 when the Muckross estate was given to the Irish people by Senator Arthur Vincent. Popular sports include trout fishing in the three lakes, boating at Ross Castle, walking and cycling. Muckross House, a Victorian mansion completed in 1843, is open to the public as is its working farm and the beautiful landscaped gardens. Other attractions within the grounds of the park include the 15th-century Muckross Abbey and the ruined seventh-century monastery at Inisfallen Island on Lough Leane, where the ‘Annals of Inisfallen’, detailing Ireland’s early history, were written by the monks.
