One of the most beautiful places in the world, Killarney, Ireland

I was just there last week! Though when I visited the place, it was raining the entire time. Still beautiful in a down pour (though harder to get a picture). The whole Ring of Kerry is something magical. edit Here is a picture I took in the Ring

Just seems like the type of place I wouldn't want to bring any electronics. I would just enjoy where I was as long as I was there.

Ross Castle. I've been to Killarney twice and am always astounded by the beauty...it's one of my favorite places

I love pictures like this, because they remind me the world hasn't been completely plastered in cement, and it still has some natural beauty.

Killarney is beautiful indeed. If any Redditors are in Kerry, Ireland, Be sure to go to Killarney. I would encourage you, even more, to go to Ballinskelligs, Kerry. And go see the ring of kerry.

Love this. Hidden gem of a place to stay/visit. There's a hostel just outside of town that rents bikes. I'd recommend grabbing one, heading down to the castle, then getting on the boat tour across the lake, and then biking through the valley back to town. Fantastic little day trip that anyone can do! Pics for proof but are pretty dated now, been a while, sadly

My family and I stayed in Killarney last year not to far from a small pub I think it was called the the golden spike. I can say this is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The only bummer to the trip was that I didn't come home with a Colin Ferrel-esque Irish man. There's always next year.

mrturdferguson · 3 months

Went to Ireland for 2 weeks. Killarney was the most beautiful by far. Stayed at the Lake Shore Hotel... I think that's the name.

That's awesome. Ireland in general is one of the most beautiful places in the world IMO.

This post actually makes me sad because this is my life destination... I've wanted to go to Ireland since I was little. I've promised myself that after I graduate college and become stable I'll go there. Someday...

I took one of the jaunting cars through Killarney National Park last fall. We made it to Ross castle as well as Muckross House. It was so damn peaceful.

Was standing on that very spot just four days and am now in humid Illinois. Life is a little cruel sometimes. But yeah, Killarney is also one of my fave spots in Ireland.

BirdD0g · 3 months

I was in Killarney, near Muckross House, and we hiked up to see some sort of falls nearby. We just kept hiking, following the source up into the mountains and ended up on the top of the tallest one we could find. Awesome place.

I love this place. Went for my senior trip. It is just as beautiful on an overcast day. Though what the picture doesn't show are the billion deer and the awesome little islands of trees.

This was my family's favourite place to go for short breaks. It's proper amazing, I highly recommend horse riding by Mucross Lake and the Torc Waterfall!

I was lucky enough to visit Ireland during a drought and had no rain when I was there. I visited here and it was incredible.

I went horseback riding around the lakes (amazing!) when I was there, and we went into town to get lunch.

I nearly had a heart attack when we got into town and I turned the corner and saw six Irish soldiers complete with automatic weapons.

I didn't know the Irish army had nothing better to do than escort armored cars to/from the bank.

My family name is O'Killian (O'Cilleaon). I'm curious if Killarny (Cill Airne) is where the family is from. It looks like a beautiful place to call home.

My childhood took place on a wicked street in a decent chunk of suburbia. It was a court and almost every house had a couple kids raging in age. I spent my first 16 years there. My friend went to Ireland and bought me a beautiful painting of "home".

Ross Castle was amazing. I was in Killarney for my Honeymoon back in August. Dunguaire Castle was a close second for me. Its in Kinvarra. Its hard to love just one photo though. So so many amazing sites.

Spent 10 days in Ireland a few years back. Beautiful country, great people and tons of fun! Would love to go back!

I went to Killarney a decade ago when I was backpacking around Europe. My girlfriend (now wife) and I biked around Killarney and it was so beautiful that we decided to add biking the whole Ring of Kerry to our bucket list. 3 weeks ago we went back and toured the whole country and then spent 4 days biking the whole ring with 3 other friends.

Yes, depart a lot at this time, and cut the approaching any more or we fire arrows into the tops of your heads and make castanets of your testicles already.

Remain gone, illegitimate-faced bugger-folk! And, if you think you got a nasty taunting this time, you ain't heard nothing yet, dappy English k...niggets.

Not going to lie, this looks just like a reservoir near my house in NY. Picture is taken with my crappy camera phone from a weird angle but I have more of this place.

I visited there as a teenager with my father. One day we were walking down a road that had an old stone fence down one side. One end of the wall was straight up and looked great but as you continued down the road the wall began to bulge and look less than perfect.

My father pointed out the changes and told me, "Here we can see a physical timeline of an Irish workmans day. We're at about noon I'd say."

Later we visited a pub and he bought me my first Guinness. As an American teenager ready to embrace his Irish heritage, and maybe build a wall, it was an awesome experience.

This was in the early ninties and I cannot remember the road name. I want to say it was a road that headed into the direction of Muckross House but I may be mistaken.

I lived there for 10 years. The place is a hole. Nothing but a tourist trap with a massive drug and violence problem that the Garda wont touch because the increased crime rate would damage tourism.
