A feast for people with Irish ancestors…or an eye for lakes and lavish gardens

Muckross house and gardens are fantastic with wonderfully manicured gardens and exotic shrubs plus open access to walk around…all free except the house and museum BUT don’t miss the Traditional village and farm. I’ve seen many villages depicting life in the 1940’s/50 but this is the best by far. Live animals, pigs, horses hens chickens etc kitchen gardens (for the housewife) ploughing with horses and potato growing. The forge and village houses are l traditionally built and. furnished with traditional soda bread freshly baked on the open fire and freely offered to you to sample. Excellent work reflecting times gone by. A living social document. give yourself a couple of hours at least for the house, gardens and farm. It’s the best of its kind in Ireland. I hope you’ll like it!
Good job

I popped into the Killarney Bike Rental facility after midday, and was promptly greeted by a gentleman who inquired after my plans. He took the time to explain the best option for me, considering what I wanted to see and the time I would have available to accomplish it. Excellent quality bikes and helmets, and I chose an e-bike to help with the longer ride. Patient and knowledgeable staff, highly recommend.
Wonderful

It was my husband (age 74) and my (age 64) first e-bike experience…it was a perfect place to do it! Patty and Martin were patient and kind and provided great instruction before we set off. Our daughter and her boyfriend guided us, and we became confident in no time. We highly recommend this experience!
