There is something special about Killarney in October. The landscape begins to turn golden, the mornings are crisp, the lakes take on a softer light and the Killarney National Park is made for getting out and exploring.
Whether you are planning a few days of adventure, a leisurely escape or simply want to experience Killarney at its most atmospheric, the October mid term is the perfect excuse to come and discover it for yourself.
Killarney National Park is right on our doorstep, giving you an entire landscape of lakes, mountains, woodland and historic landmarks to explore.
Take a morning walk through the changing colours of the park, follow the lakeshore towards Muckross, visit the magnificent Muckross House and Gardens or make your way to Ross Castle on the shores of Lough Leane.
For a more traditional Killarney experience, climb aboard a jaunting car and let your jarvey take you through the National Park, with stories of the area and spectacular scenery along the way.
More to see
Follow the spectacular roads of the Ring of Kerry, take in the mountain scenery of Moll’s Gap and Ladies View, or head towards the Gap of Dunloe for some of the most dramatic landscapes in the county.
For something a little different, venture towards Dingle and experience the wild beauty of the Dingle Peninsula, or explore the coastal scenery and beaches around Kerry.
With so much within easy reach, you can fill your mid term with as much adventure as you like.
