Killarney National Park Vacations and Tourism

Killarney National Park is located beside Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland. It was one of the first national parks of the Irish state initially formed by the donation of the Muckross Estate in 1932 by Senator Arthur Vincent and his parents-in-law Mr. and Mrs. William Bowers Bourn. The original 40 square kilometres (15.4 sq mi) Bourn Vincent Memorial Park (formerly Muckross Estate) has been substantially added to in later years most notably with land of the Earl of Kenmare's estate. The park now encompasses 103 square kilometres (39.8 sq mi) of mountains, woodland and the lakes of Killarney. The National Park has Ireland's only herd of Red Deer in addition to Japanese Sika Deer which were introduced into the area. Ladies' View provides a good view of the Lakes including the Gap of Dunloe, the Black Valley and Ross Castle. Muckross House and its surrounding gardens are included in the Park.
