Ireland – Killarney, The Ring of Kerry & Dingle Peninsula

Staying at the 4 star Killarney Towers Hotel
Our holiday to Ireland takes us to the south west corner and the County of Kerry. This is where we find Killarney one of the most friendly and traditional towns of any in Ireland. It is known for the Irish music bars and of course the ‘craic’ which is a type of banter and fun that you don’t get anywhere else. Whilst here we drive the beautiful Ring of Kerry as well as the magnificent scenery of the Dingle Peninsula. Our hotel, the Killarney Towers is centrally situated which allows easy access to the town and surrounding area’s. It is known for good food and friendly atmosphere as well as the traditional evening music bar.
