This
fascinating walk is named after the English
writer who first described it. It is seven and
a half kilometers in length, and takes
approximately two hours to complete. A good
deal of the walk goes through the National
Park, and though you do escape the perils of
motorised vehicles, it's important to keep an
eye out for cyclists and the odd horse drawn
carriage.This walk begins near Muckross House
and follows a route along Muckross Peninsula
between Lough Leane and Muckross Lake. Along
there are extensive Yew Woods - reputed to be
the largest in Europe - which have varied
carpets of mosses and liverworts underneath.
There are also many fine specimens of oak,
arbutus and holly trees. Your guide is
