quaint Killarney

admin

if you’re looking for a nice relaxing place to go where the historical attractions are very close than I recommend quaint Killarney. This is very much a tourist town but it is very interesting one and you should have fun going to the pubs and listening to the music. Just on the edge of town there is the first national Park which was formed by the estate of one family and then another estate joining it to create the national park. There are two old homes on those two states which are really worth visiting and it’s such a beautiful area with lake and animals here and there.

The sister tones of Killarney
When you visit Ross Castle you come up to these fellows who will offer you a horse drawn buggy ride.
Ross Castle is not named after a family. Ross and Irish means peninsula
Beautiful river by the castle
Lots of wildlife around
After Ross Castle you need to go to Muckross house. The last owners gave this state to the county and they created the first Killarney Park. When the Ross estate was left for the last time the owners decided to add this to the Killarney Park and it became the first national park in Ireland.
If you look at the next photo you’ll see what caught my interest. This keyhole has a latch. I don’t know why but it seems it would definitely keep it clean inside.
This is the great entrance to the house
The dining area is very lavish
This mirror is very old but doesn’t look like an old mirror , tarnish and so forth. The reason is simple. It’s made a pure silver. The story is the children used to bounce balls off of it.
the spiky leaf is to send a message.
Beautiful moulding
