WALKING FROM KILLARNEY TO THE GAP OF DUNLOE?! (8.4 MILES)
Hey Asighttosee'ers!
So, ever since I started planning my trip to Killarney, I really wanted to check out the Gap of Dunloe. BUT everyone told me to either take a shuttle, bus or bike there and I was really curious as to why I shouldn't walk. Today, I did it so I could show you guys first hand what its like to walk from the town of Killarney to the Gap of Dunloe, with step by step direction, so you could make the decision for yourself if it is worth it or not. I give my own personal suggestion at the end! If you can't figure out why you shouldn't do something, the best way to figure it out is to actually do it yourself! xD

You NEED to Do This in Killarney - Ireland
Boating through Killarney National Park and Biking through the Gap of Dunloe. I didn't know Ireland was such an adventurous destination.
I was in Killarney to attend TBEX (Travel Blog Exchange) and one of the tours they put together, through Failte Ireland, was to boat across Lough Leane and cycle through the Gap of Dunloe, both close to Killarney.
We were pick up at the INEC (Ireland's National Event Center) and transported to Ross Castle on Lough Leane. We took boats, provided by Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours, across the lake to an island with ancient monastery ruins and then navigating through Muckross Lake and Upper Lake before being dropped off at Lord Brandon's Cottage.
From there we mounted our bikes, provided by Ireland Walk Hike Bike, to cycle up the Mountains of East Kerry for the 11 kilometer road through the Gap of Dunloe. The sights were incredible. It did rain on and off the whole day but it just added to the experience and made it more memorable.
We stopped at Heather Restaurant for a delicious meal and the best Irish Coffee I have ever had. Our last stop of the tour was Beaufort Bar, a pub that is as traditional as you can find with live music and dance performers to welcome all us bloggers to Ireland.
It was an amazing first day in Ireland for me and I highly suggest Killarney as a stop on your Ireland trip.

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.
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-One of My Favorite Places in Ireland! (With Live Pub Performances)
Killarney, Ireland has a small town feel to it, like a quaint village. In my opinion, it has the best live Irish pub music in Ireland (which you will see and hear), and we went to pubs in five different Irish cities. Killarney is also a short ride away from Ross Castle and from getting a jaunting car (horse and carriage) ride back from the castle. It's also close to beautiful Killarney National Park and is a great place to start your Ring of Kerry tour.

Driving the Ring of Kerry is surely a wonderful treat. We also drove the Skellig Ring, went to Knightstown on Valentia Island, Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula, Portmagee (omg the cutest town in Ireland) and even to a cute little cheese shop.
We stayed overnight in Kilorglin, Killarney, and Kilkenny, and Limerick.
#Ireland is very charming and enchanting! I must return! It reminded me a lot of #Alaska and of #Oregon.
DO NOT FORGET THAT THEY DRIVE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD THAT THE AMERICANS DO!!!! I nearly got into a wreck 10 minutes after picking up the rental car in Cork !!!!!
omg i must quick working on this stuff so late at night! I have uploaded this and didn't even add a music track to it! lol omg! sorry about that! I even gave credit to the music writer and there IS NO MUSIC! #lmao!
Killarney Falconry, Ireland
Amazing experience with Killarney Falconry!
Best Forest Walk in Kerry, Ireland
One of the top things to do in Kerry, you'll find Glanteenassig Forest Park, halfway between Camp and Castlegregory. If you're on your way to Dingle by the Conor Pass road, these top walks are totally worth a little detour to check out one of its 3 hikes, varying between 15 minutes to 1 hour in length.
This being one of the best walks in Kerry, it passes very closely to the Kerry Way Walking Route, and is also only a 40min drive from Tralee and about an hour from Killarney. So those doing the Ring of Kerry, or checking out the Wild Atlantic way put this magical, soulful walk on your list!
If there are any places you'd like me to check out in Kerry and make a quick video of for you let me know!

Day 27 - Walking the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry | Walking Around Ireland
In this episode, I am walking the Dingle Peninsula in Kerry. It’s home to Tom Crean and stunning scenery...
Thank you so much to my two sponsors @BDifferent and @ElkRecruitment and @Hiiker App :)
Also, Huge thanks to the kind souls who have “bought me a coffee” (link below) as a tip for making these videos - you are the BEST :)
About the Walk - I am hiking from Dublin to the Great Blasket Islands in Co. Kerry. I will be sleeping in a tent and it will take approx 30 days to complete the 600km+ journey. Most of this trail is known as “Coast to Coast” but I have always had a fascination and urge to pitch my tent on the Great Blasket Island which is why I will head north upon reaching Killarney.
And in case you might be asking yourself, I am walking around Ireland because I really enjoy walking.

Drive the Ring of Kerry in a DAY | Top things to do | Ireland (1of2)
If you drive the Ring of Kerry in a day, how much can you really see? Take our road trip guide and see the top things to do in a day.
The Drive starts in Killarney National Park at Ross Castle, moving on to Muck Ross House and then the short walk from there to Torc Waterfall.
Driving out of the Park we head up into the hills and see Panoramic views of the lakes and National park at Ladies View, stopping for an early lunch.
Hugging the coastline along Kenmare Bay, there are plenty of places to pull over and take in the views.
Arriving at one of the furthest points Park Plaza we can see Skellig Michael (even though overcast) this was a famous filming location for Star Was The Last Jedi
Continuing round the route Ballycarberry Castle now derelict and sadly not accessible close-up, but you can still get some good pictures from 100 metres away. It is also near to the Leacanabuaile Stone Fort. On top of the hill you get panoramic views of area and Castle.
It took us about 9 hours to do the drive, before starting to head for Dingle our stop for the night. From there we will tour the Slea Head Drive, and see how it compares to the Ring of Kerry.
There is so much to see and do. We have shown you just a small amount of things and really stuck to the road route. You need a few days to explore all the attractions in the centre of the Peninsula.

Day 22 - Why I’m Walking Around Ireland | Walking the Dunhallow Way
I think this is the best video of Ireland I have made....what do you think? Thank you to my YT supporters :) Part of this video was filmed not the Dunhallow Way. I believe walking the Dunhallow Way is 4/5 in terms of difficulty for hikers with limited experience.
Thank you so much to my two sponsors @BDifferent and @ElkRecruitment :)
