Killarney School
of English is
located at the entrance to Killarney National Park. Killarney is
surrounded by 25,000acres/10,000hectres of National park, Lakes and
magnificent Mountain ranges including Ireland's highest peak,
Carrantouhil (c1040mtres). It is said that 'in Killarney, you
will find a different walking route for every day in the year”.
This may be an exaggeration, but only just!!
| Whether you wish to trek to the top of Ireland's highest mountain range, explore Killarney's ancient woodland glens and valleys or, just stroll around its beautiful lakeshore walks, Killarney offers you a range of walks that will never cease to amaze and please you. Killarney is also the perfect base for taking on the beautifully scenic and historic 'Kerry Way', 'Dingle way' and ‘Beara Way' walks through the ‘Three Peninsulas' of the Ring of Kerry, Dingle and Beara. . 'Route Maps' and 'Pocket Guides' are available at the school for the recognised established routes, but Killarney offers the pleasure of numerous walking options that are still very much in their 'undiscovered' state, presenting the walker with the opportunity to explore and discover at will!!. | ![]() |
