Killarney in Count Kerry in southwestern Ireland is a popular tourist destination because of its natural heritage, history and location on the Ring of Kerry. It is such a clean town that it was named Ireland's tidiest town and the cleanest town in the country by Irish Business Against Litter. This is the Memorial Celtic Cross erected in memory of those people from Killarney and surrounding areas who served and died in the 1914 - 1918 war.
Jaunting Car (horse and carriage) is a popular way of seeing Killarney. It is like traveling through time when there are no cars and we rely on animal power (in this case, horse power) to go around.
This horse carriage ride works its way along Killarney National Park and Deer Park, past the majestic high spire of St. Mary's Cathedral, and to the spectacular 15th-century Ross Castle resting on the shores of Lough Léin.
Like a dream. This is Ross Castle as seen from the horse carriage. Ross Castle at a glance looks like it is sitting on a small island. Ross Castle is a 15th century tower house on the edge of Lough Léin, one of three lakes of the Lakes of Killarney.
St. Mary's Cathedral is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Kerry. Construction for the church started in 1842 but would halt due to the great famine. Work resumed in 1853 and in two years, the church opened for worshippers.
The narrow streets around Killarney Town Council and St. Mary's Cathedral are lined with souvenir shops, boutiques and bars. Feel free to explore!
