The Lakes of Killarney are three lakes sitting in a glacial valley beneath MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range, inside Killarney National Park, which became Ireland’s first national park in 1932. The park holds Ireland’s only native red deer herd, its largest surviving native woodland, and one of Europe’s last pure yew forests. Innisfallen Island on Lough Leane housed a monastery where Brian Boru is said to have studied and where monks wrote the Annals of Innisfallen, one of the key records of early Irish history.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
