What you'll see
Lakes, old oak and yew woods and mountains running straight from town, with flat paths and quiet lanes for walking or cycling, and red deer if you're lucky.
A brief history
It was Ireland's first national park, created in 1932 when the Muckross estate was given to the state. Its red deer are thought to have lived here since the Ice Age.
