Although KILLARNEY has been commercialized to saturation point and has little in the way of architectural interest, the real reason for coming here is without doubt the surrounding landscape. Its three spectacular lakes, Lough Leane (the Lower Lake), Muckross Lake (the Middle Lake) and the Upper Lake is only the appetizer. Behind them loom Macgillycuddy's Reeks, which have grandeur out of all proportion to their height: rarely exceeding 3,000 ft., they're still the highest mountains in Ireland. Much of this wonderful scenery is contained within the huge Killarney National Park. |
