    The Gap of Dunloe is not to be missed! It is by far one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen - and I've traveled to many amazing places on this earth.

    We drove, which was not for the feint of heart as the roads were narrow and very twisty. There were plenty of pull outs, and for those other courteous drivers it was just fine. And, while we were very respectful of all traffic - carriages, cars, walkers and cyclists, we did not experience the same from many others.

    I will say that the horse buggies were a total disappointment! There were so many of them and many of the poor horses were looking so tired and worn down. While some of the carriage drivers were very nice and made room on the road, there were a handful who were extremely rude to us - even shouting obscenities at us if they thought we weren't over enough to let them pass. One driver even hit our car with his whip (after hitting his horse with it and over).

    This would have ruined our experience had we let it. But, being in one of the most beautiful places on earth over ruled and we just continued to avoid the carriages as much as possible on the drive.

    Don't miss the Gap of Dunloe, but perhaps consider walking!

    A well laid out and interesting house and lovely gardens close to Killarney. A special word for the informative and super-helpful staff who assisted us with wheelchairs (inside and in the gardens) for my elderly mother-in-law. She was able to enjoy the visit to the full as a result. I very much appreciated how they sprang into action when they saw her.

    We toured the castle with our guide. While the castle started as a Norman tower, changes were made to it over the centuries. We were able to tour the quarters of the lord and his family, along with the banquet hall. The castle was built for defense, not luxury, so even the lord didn't have that easy of a life. The grounds around the castle are quite lovely.

    For me, the highlight of my trip to Killarney was visiting Torc falls. It is also a great base to drive through the ring of Kerry and the Dingle peninsula……another no to be missed drive.
