Our first stop is Ross Castle sitting majestically on the edge of the Lakes of Killarney. This is a great example of a 15th century fortress. Looking out over the Lakes one can see the island of Innisfallen home to the ruins of the Innisfallen Abbey.Our next stop is Muckross Abbey where with only a short walk through the National park you can reach this old Irish monastery gaze on the magnificent ancient Yew tree rising from the centre of this unique Abbey.The bus stops at Muckross House and Traditional Farms and is one of Irelands premiere visitor attractions nestled in the Heart of Killarney’s National Park.Our next stop is a must visit to see the spectacular waterfall at Torc. A short woodland walk from the bus stop brings you into view of a 60ft cascade plunging down the mountainside.
