Killarney Lake District

Visitors who want to see the Killarney lake district have the choice between doing so on their own or taking advantage of the sightseeing trips organized by local agencies. Most people opt for a package covering travel in a jaunting car (a light open horse-drawn car), on ponyback and by boat. One such trip - almost the standard tour - is the following: by jaunting car from Killarney round the north side of the Lower Lake to Kate Kearney's Cottage; from there on a pony, in a jaunting car or on foot over the Gap of Dunloe and down to the Upper Lake; then by boat from the south end of the lake by way of the Middle Lake to Ross Castle; and finally back to Killarney by jaunting car.
