Killarney is surrounded by 26,000 / 10,000 hectares of National Park,
Lakes and magnificent Mountain Ranges including Ireland’s
highest peak, Corrán Tuathail (1039m).
It is said that “in Killarney, you will find a different walking
route for every day in the year”. This may be an exaggeration,
but only just!!

ancient woodland glens and valleys, or just stroll around its beautiful
lakeshore walks, Killarney offers you a range of walks that will
never cease to amaze and please you.
