Killarney National Park's main attraction, this beautiful house was built in 1839-1843. Queen Victoria stayed here. The gardens are world renowned for their spleandour and grandeur.
Built by the local Chieftan, McCarthy Mor, for the Franciscians in 1448 it remained for centuries an important center of religious culture untill sacked by Cromwell in 1652. A visit there today is an enchanting and spellbinding experience.
Gushing mountain falls, especially after rainfall, this attraction never fails to disappoint. A short path leads to this natural wonder.

Was a lovely experience, had a great day biking around. The bikes were good quality and the people that worked there were very nice and helpful.
Easy and simple. Very helpful company and made it really easy for the family to enjoy Muckross. Good and clean bikes too
Rented bikes for the day as a family with 3 kids. 2 older kids could ride on their own, and youngest in a bike trailer. Great way to spend several hours touring the Killarney National Park and seeing some sights. All pretty flat ground, so no issues. Friendly staff and parking onsite.
When we arrived by car we were directed to nice big car park so no problem with parking space. Very good selection of bikes. Bikes in very good condition. Martin looked after us with map of Mucross House and area, showed us where to go, where to stop and what to see! Excellent recommendations ! Higly recommand that place for bikes. Very professional and friendly staff
It was a fun and beautiful way to see Killarney National Park and Muckross House and garden. Gorgeous views on a sunny day. We took our time, stopped for many pictures and rests (mostly flat but some moderate hills). Lunch at Muckross was great and filling. Don’t miss stopping at the Abbey.
Sound friendly group of lads very helpful big thanks to Gavin
Great bike hire been using them since my kids were babies now bringing grandkids . So friendly helpful and good value
Our absolute favorite activity in Ireland! This was a great way to take in the beauty of Killarney! We are so happy that we did this activity our first day in town! GREAT family activity!
Had an amazing bike ride in probably the most beautiful part of Ireland. The bike rental company was also fantastic, good information and great humor. Big thanks!
Excellent family day out which included 2 adults, 2 children and 1 dog. Brilliant to be able to take our dog with us too. The bicycles were in excellent working order. Instructions provided before departure. The national park is such a beautiful asset to Killarney, Kerry and Ireland. Cycling was a great way to see it from another perspective.
