Park was beautiful and I wanted to go for a ride on a jaunting cart. We choose one parked outside Muckross House and I felt we were OVERCHARGED. The ride was to be 45 minutes for 30 Euro and to the waterfall. We did go to the waterfall, but the walk to and from the waterfall is counted as part... More

It's a nice, big and interesting place next to the city. Much to see and many trails for walking or biking. If you visit, calculate enough time!

The national park is spectacular. Green rolling meadows dotted with ducks and deer. Great view over the lake and topped off by horse drawn buggy ride back to town.

Had not visited in 14 years and I had forgotten how stunningly beautiful it is. I wish we had bikes with us to enjoy it even more. Went for a walk to the lakes at night . Watching the moon on the water was magical.

Have been saying for years must do this trip but kept thinking it would be completely based around tourists like Connemara was and didn't fancy 'Top of the Morning' instead of a 'Good Morning' but it's not like that just beauty and non-intrusive activities that you can do if you so desire. There were a lot of tourist buses around... More

We picnicked at a picnic table behind Ross Castle. What a scenic place right on the lake. It was very enjoyable before heading on to Danny Mann pub for great Irish Music!
