First Impressions exploring Killarney Ireland
Having spent over a week in Dublin, Ireland it was time for me to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to visit more of rural Ireland. With this in mind, I headed over to Killarney by myself by train. While visiting the city I was impressed by the passion locals have for Gaelic football (green and gold was everywhere) and I spent the majority of my time exploring Killarney National Park en route to Ross Castle. Although I didn't have a lot of time to spend here I did have a very favorable first impression and would gladly return again in the future if given the opportunity.

First Impressions of Killarney, Ireland Travel Video Transcript:
Good morning everyone. It's bright and early here in Dublin and I'm about to board a train bound for Killarney - a city I've never visited before.
Audrey is off on a friends and family road trip so unfortunately you'll have to be putting up with me the whole time.
Anyways, let's get going.
It's nice, only one transfer today. The journey has been really pleasant so far. It's been really scenic and I should be in Killarney in about an hour.
After arriving at Cill Arine station minus my sweater, I dropped off my bags at the hotel and set off on foot to explore the downtown core.
I quickly found myself impressed by how passionate the city is about its Gaelic Football with Green and Gold displayed everywhere. With no shortage of restaurants and pubs at my disposal it wasn't long before I sat down for lunch.
For lunch I'm going with Fish and Chips and a pint of Guinness. It never gets old.
Well, that really hit the spot. Now it is time to go out and check out the town.
Well, well, it didn't take me long to escape the bustle of the downtown city core. And so far my first impressions of this place have been really positive. It's a nice change of pace from Dublin where you know it is a really big city and it is really hectic. So over here it is much much smaller and literally it took me 2 minutes to walk out into the woods here and now I'm down a path. Just what I want.
It appears I've made it to the entrance of Killarney National Park. But before I go there, there is a cathedral right in front of me that looks absolutely amazing, so I'm going to go check that out first. And then onward to the park.
An interesting fact is that Saint Mary's Cathedral served as a shelter and hospital for the sick and dying during the great famine before it was even fully completed in 1855.
It appears I have options galore in terms of where to go.
Well, Ross Castle it is. And after that gigantic lunch I've got a lot of calories to burn off.
Something you really appreciate in Ireland is when you have a gorgeous day like this. When it is sunny outside, when there is hardly a cloud in the sky. Because it does rain a lot here and so any excuse to put away your umbrella and get outside and go for a walk is definitely worth taking advantage of.
You know how sometimes in life you hit a fork in the road. Well, apparently sometimes you also hit a flood in the road. So this road is flooded here. I'm probably less than five hundred meters away from the castle. I can't see it right now but here is the dilemma. How do I get there?
That appears about as far as I can go unless of course I can magically find a pair of rain-boots or a canoe.
Open to the public Ross Castle built in the 15th Century is situated on the edge of Killarney's lower lake. Visiting its grounds is the perfect ending to a walk in Killarney National Park. In terms of nearby attractions it was definitely my favorite.
I often find when traveling you have these unexpected days. You have these days where you lose your sweater and you try to reach somewhere and it doesn't work the first time or the second time and maybe not even the third time. Luckily it did for me the third time. But anyway this is the kind of adventure that really make traveling interesting for me. I like that days are varied and that you never know what is going to happen.
So I'm going to finish off this adventure with a river-walk back to the hotel.
This is part of our Travel in Ireland series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Irish culture, Irish arts, Irish foods, Irish religion, Irish cuisine and Irish people.

Killarney, Ireland
Driving from Dingle down to Killarney, where we walk the main streets and take a horse carriage ride passing one of the lakes of Killarney. Then on driving towards Kinsale in the south of Ireland. It's one of the prettiest parts of the country.

Killarney is most famous for its three lakes, and the town itself is quite attractive. Killarney is the nation's most popular destination after Dublin. People are drawn here primarily for the natural beauties around in the National Park, but the town itself has developed into a major tourist magnet.
There are quite a few shops packed into a small area. Those main streets outlined in blue add up to only about 1/2 a mile so it's quite easy to walk through the center up and down both sides of the street.
One of the most popular activities here is riding in the horse carriage with some commentary by your local driver.
Killarney does have nice wide sidewalks in the downtown area with trees and some benches, and the shops each seem to be unique. It's not like going to a big shopping mall. This place has a lot of character. The center of town, marked in the red circle is the crossroads of busy streets: High Street Main and New. Cars drive down the streets, so there's no pedestrian zone as such, but the sidewalks are nice and wide, it's easy to take a comfortable stroll.

jackie the farmer funeral
The remains of 103 years old Jackie 'The Farmer' O'Sullivan from Killarney are removed by traditional horse drawn hearse from St. Mary's Cathedral, Killarney on Thursday following his funeral Mass. Jackie was well known for his daily commute by horse & cart to Killarney town from his home in Ballaugh about five miles East of Killarney. Jackie made a special request that he would be carried to the graveyard by traditional horse drawn hearse. The hearse built in London in 1872 was drawn by two 12 year old Gelderland horses, replete with black plumes, chrome decorated tackle and candle lights and was driven by Don and Martin Dennehy from Ballinhassig, Cork.

Ring of Kerry, County Kerry, South-Western Ireland, Ireland, Europe
The Ring of Kerry is a 179-km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. Clockwise from Killarney it follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin -- passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh -- before returning to Killarney via the N72. Popular points include Muckross House (near Killarney), Staigue stone fort and Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell. Just south of Killarney, Ross Castle, Lough Leane, and Ladies View (a panoramic viewpoint), all located within Killarney National Park, are major attractions located along the Ring. A more complete list of major attractions along the Ring of Kerry includes: Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Rossbeigh Beach, Cahersiveen Heritage Centre, Derrynane House, Skellig Experience, Staigue Fort, Kenmare Lace, Moll's Gap, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House, The Blue Pool, Ross Castle, Ogham Stones, St Mary's Cathedral, Muckross Abbey, Franciscan Friary, Kellegy Church, O'Connell Memorial Church, Sneem Church and Cemetery, Skellig Michael, Beehive Cells and the Stone Pillars marking an important grave. There is also an established walking path named The Kerry Way, which takes its own route, and a signposted Ring of Kerry cycling path which uses older quieter roads where possible. The Kerry Way roughly follows the scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry. There are numerous variations to the route taking in St. Finian's Bay and Valentia Island which the official driving ring misses (the official cycling route takes in Valentia Island). As well as some fine beaches, it also offers the Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Derrynane House, the Skellig Experience Valentia Island, Molls Gap, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House and Ross Castle. The Ring is a popular day trip and numerous bus companies offer trips during the summer months. As the narrow roads make it difficult for tour coaches to pass, all tour buses run in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, traveling via Killorglin first. Some recommend that car owners travel in the opposite direction, going first to Kenmare to avoid delays caused by tour buses. Others advise traveling counter-clockwise to avoid having to pass the buses. In 2008 satellite navigation systems were blamed for directing bus drivers in a clockwise direction around the route.
Right2Water The Day Ireland Roared
October 11th people gathered in their tens of thousands to protest the water charges. On November 1st there are countrywide protests as this movement is only getting started. By people standing together and not falling victim to the Irish Government's divide and conquer policy can they fight it. This video features speeches by Brendan Ogle, Aisling O'Neil, Clare Daly, Richard Boyd Barrett, John Bisset intercut with some of the best crowd highlights of the day. The video also looks at how the media both nationally and internationally reacted to the protest as well as local contact information. Directed and edited by Marcus Howard.

TORC WATER FALL NEAR KILLARNEY IRELAND 05.03.2011
Torc Waterfall is just one of many in the Killarney area, but is certainly the most famous. It is about 7km outside Killarney towards Kenmare, is well signposted and is just a short walk from the carpark through a forest. The roar of the falls can be heard long before you see them. The water all comes from the wonderfully named Devil's Punch Bowl and falls an angry 70 ft. onto the huge boulders below before continuing on into Muckross Lake.
