Jaunting Ride + Ross Castle

Thursday, October 9

Itinerary:

Begin your Killarney adventure with a traditional jaunting car ride, where a local jarvey guides you by horse-drawn carriage through the picturesque paths of Killarney National Park. As you travel at a gentle pace, enjoy stories, local folklore, and panoramic views of the lakes, mountains, and woodlands. The ride offers a unique way to take in the charm of the park while experiencing one of Ireland’s most beloved traditions. Afterward, continue on foot with a self-guided visit to Ross Castle, a striking 15th-century tower house set on the shores of Lough Leane. Wander through the grounds and lakeside paths, taking in views of the water and surrounding hills. Inside, explore exhibits that share the history of the O’Donoghue clan and the castle’s role in Ireland’s turbulent past. This combination of guided charm and independent exploration provides both cultural insight and stunning natural scenery.
