Even more reason to visit Killarney Racecourse, County Kerry. If you’ve never visited Ireland it’s easy to spend a couple of days enjoying not only the horse racing but the hospitality of the area. locations such as Ross Castle and Lough Leane. No wonder it’s called a ‘Green and pleasant land’ if not paradise found. At least, that what the Google Reviews detail.

Killarney is a town situated in southwestern Ireland. In fact, it sits on the shore of Lough Leane and a very scenic landscape. A population of 14,500. This province of Munster details splendid buildings from the 19^th century including the majestic St. Mary’s Cathedral and across the bridge the Killarney National Park. The park features the Victorian mansion Muckross House, gardens and traditional farms.

The beauty of this location is literally its location.

A short flight from London Stansted to Kerry Airport. It’s just an 18-minute drive to a landscape nothing short of outstanding.

Killarney Racecourse is a stone’s throw from Lough Leane and Ross Castle which looks inviting. In fact, there are a number of easy walks including The Old Boathouse Trail (1km), Library Point (5km) & Arthur Young’s Walk (5.6km) that was established in 1776.

The Killarney National Park is ideal for walking and hiking, trails, cycling, horse riding, canoe and kayaking, fishing, swimming, birdwatching guided tours and even jaunting cars, the old-style horse and carriage ride. What better way to head from the mountain views of The Lake Hotel to Killarney Racecourse on a beautiful summer’s day.
