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.

Our three main destinations will be Dingle, Galway and of course Dublin, capital of the country, a great center of culture, learning and nightlife.
Dublin is a wonderful city. But don't make the mistake when you're visiting Ireland of only going to Dublin – there's so much more to see.
On the map we will give you a quick preview of our entire itinerary. We took eight days to make a leisurely circuit all the way around the country. Our first major destination is Galway and Connemara, where we stayed for three nights.
We took our ferry ride out to the main island of the Aran Islands, Inishmore, where you can get around by horse and cart, or bicycle, or van tour.
For the entire eight days we were in the capable hands of our Irish driver and guide Martin Woulfe, who's going to summarize the entire visit.
We left Galway City, we came out to Oranmore. From Oranmore we came into Kinvara. Turn right in Kinvara, and we went down through the Burren in County Clare, down to the Cliffs of Moher. And from the Cliffs of Moher we came down the west coast of Clare. We came down to Liscannor. We continued on into Lahinch. From Lahinch we went down the west coast all the way down to Doonbeg. We had our lunch in Kilrush. And from Kilrush we caught our ferry across the River Shannon. We came into North Kerry, to Tarbert. And from Tarbert we came into Listowel. And from Listowel we went to Tralee, and from Tralee – we stopped in Tralee. We had a look at the gardens inTralee. We went to Camp, Lispole and on into Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula. We did our tour of Dingle Peninsula, Ventry, Ballyferrite. All on the Dingle Peninsula. And came back into Dingle, and we left Dingle. We went to a place called Inch, the longest beach, and into Killarney. And from Killarney we went to Macroom in County Cork. And from Macroom we went into Cork City, and down into Kinsale. We toured Kinsale. We left Kinsale, and we came from Kinsale, stopped in Cashel, the great rock of Cashel. And from Cashel we came up to Dublin.
Ending up in Dublin was a perfect way to finish the visit, because we've had a whole week out in the west of Ireland enjoying the greenery, and the little villages, and the historic sites. We nd up with some big city action. Be sure to look at our Ireland series for the complete picture that opens the door to this magical country.

Dad & I in the pink @ Gougane Barra, Macroom Co Cork Ireland
The name Gougane Barra comes from Saint Finbarr, who is said to have built a monastery on an island in the lake nearby during the 6th century.
The present ruins date from around 1700 when a priest called Denis O'Mahony retreated to the island. During the times of the Penal Laws, Gougane Barra's remoteness meant that it became a popular place for the celebration of the Roman Catholic Mass.
The nineteenth century oratory which stands near the original monastery is famous for its picturesque location and richly decorated interior and is a popular place for weddings.
Afforestation of the area around the settlement began in 1938 and Gougane Barra is now home to a 1.42 square kilometre (or 138 hectare) forest park with 20 different species of tree, mainly Sitka Spruce, Japanese Larch, Scots Pine and Lodgepole pine, and a large number of native species of flora and fauna.
The source of the River Lee rises in the hills above the park and flows into Gougane lake. The forest park has 5 km of motor trail and 10 km of hill walks, nature points and vista trails.
