Things to do in Annascaul

Killarney National Park is a wonderful expanse of mountains and lakes in Ireland’s southwestern corner. It has a mix of flora and fauna spread out across its dense woodland and mountain peaks. Enter the Victorian mansion of the Muckross House, Gardens and Traditional Farms for updated information from its visitor center.

Look for a spot where two rocky walls rise up on either side of a narrow road winding out to the green horizon and you will have found the Gap of Dunloe. This breathtaking glacial valley cuts through the mountain range of the MacGillicuddy Reeks to the west and Purple Mountain to the east.

Take a pleasant stroll through Tralee Town Park. Find a fountain, garden of the senses, playground, walking trails and a renowned rose garden spreading its fragrance in the air around you.

Swim, splash, surf and relax at Banna Beach, a beloved seaside spot for County Kerry locals. The ocean rolls gently onto a wide stretch of sand and the sea air blows in over the scrub behind. The wide expanse of sand is perfect for long walks along the water and mornings spent peacefully fishing.

Perched on far western Dingle Peninsula is the striking grass-covered promontory of Dunmore Head. This is the westernmost site of Ireland’s mainland and also one of the westernmost places in Europe. With undulating fields and centuries-old landmarks, Dunmore Head is a great place for hiking, photography and appreciating Ireland’s fresh coastal air.

Slea Head is a dramatic headland that rises up over the southwestern shores of the Dingle Peninsula and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Encompassed by lush emerald landscapes, it’s a wonderful place to explore on foot and experience the beauty of Ireland’s untamed natural beauty. Use Slea Head as an ideal starting point for scenic drives and bike rides along parts of the Wild Atlantic Way.
