Killarney - Muckross House

Past Muckross Friary, to the south of Killarney, on the main road, in a park with magnificent plantations of rhododendrons, stands Muckross House. Some of the rooms, with their Victorian furniture, can be visited, including the rooms occupied by Queen Victoria during her visit in 1861. In the basement are several workshops (smithy, weaving room, pottery and saddlery) where visitors can watch craftsmen at work.
