The views along the Ring of Kerry are spectacular and iconically Irish as you make your way to Killarney. Killarney National Park is famous for glassy lakes, historic castles and mansions, and rugged mountain landscapes with emerald woodlands.

It is considered Ireland’s “prettiest village” with thatched roof cottages and the River Maigue. Later, travel to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, a 15th century fortress located in County Clare. Bunratty translates to “mouth of the Ratty River”, a fitting name given its proximity to the Shannon Estuary.
