Distance: 5 miles (8km) 
Ascent: 570 feet (175m) 
We travel north from Kenmare to Killarney National Park, to explore its impressive lakes and the grounds of Victorian Muckross House. Have your camera at the ready from the off for views of “the Meeting of the Waters” – the spot where magnificent Muckross Lake and Muckross House & gardens meet.
We’ll have free time to explore Muckross. There are many options to choose from – stroll a bit further and enjoy the spectacular scenery, walk the plentiful marked trails, or sit and enjoy the view. Alternatively, pay a visit to the farm, the house or it’s gardens. Keep a lookout for the traditional Irish jaunting cars (horse-drawn carts) here, too.  
Please note - Entrance to the grounds of Muckross House is free, if you wish to visit the house itself, the gardens or the farms, entrance is payable locally. 
From Muckross and majestic Torc waterfall, we’ll head to Moll’s Gap, for an insight into life on a working farm.
