Muckross House is
located 15 minutes
walk from the school at the heart
of Killarney National Park. Queen Victoria paid a visit here, to the
Herbert family, in 1861. The House was later owned, in turn, by Lord
Ardilaun (of the Guinness family) and by the Bourn Vincents. Today,
many of the rooms in this magnificent mansion have been restored to
their original Victorian splendour.
The Walled
Garden Centre
incorporates the Garden Restaurant, Mucros Craft Shop and the three
Mucros Craft Workshops. The Garden Restaurant offers excellent menu
choices, while Mucros Craft Shop offers an extensive range of quality
giftware. Handcrafted items from Mucros Pottery, Mucros Weaving and
Mucros Conservation Bookbinding are also on sale here.
