The stunning Muckross House is a nineteenth century Victorian mansion. Located close to the shores of Muckross Lake, and is in the heart of Killarney National Park. Muckross House was designed by well-known architect William Burn and built for Henry Arthur Herbert and his wife, Mary Balfour Herbert, it took 4 years to complete.

Gap of Dunloe

The next day will see you returning to Killarney and a trip to the Gap of Dunloe. The Gap of Dunloe is also known as the gap of the common land, here the roads are narrow so the traditional jaunting cars (horse and buggy) would be perfect! It takes you through the mountains, beautiful lakes and valleys of Kerry. At the summit of the mountain, a light lunch is highly recommended at the Lord Mount Brandon’s Cottage.
