Ireland: Nature & Wildlife

Killarney national Park

Description
South and west of the town of Killarney are the world famous Lakes of Killarney. Killarney National Park, 10,236 hectares in extent, comprises the mountains and woodlands surrounding the Lakes. In 1981, the Park was designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. A pedigree herd of Kerry cattle, once the dominant breed in Ireland, graze the demesne grasslands. The only native herds of Red Deer remaining in Ireland roam the upland areas of the Killarney National Park. Within the National Park are the most extensive areas of natural woodland remaining in the country. On the Old Red Sandstone of which the mountains are composed, are the native oak woods.
