We went to Muckross in Killarney on Sunday morning. Muckross House, Gardens and Estate are in Killarney. Car parking and the estate and gardens are free for everyone to enjoy.
Queen Victoria once stayed in the big house and it is said she put tourism on the map in the Southwest of Ireland. It's another place we never tire of visiting for it's beauty and spectacular gardens and scenery:
Nice set of pictures but they leave the impression that no one else was there! "A Grand Day Out!" as Wallace might have said.
ReplyDeleteYou're on the ball YP. It was about 9.30 on a Sunday morning when the photos were taken. Muckross is a grand estate and belongs to the people of Ireland. I love big country estates, especially their gardens.
DeleteJust had a look at Muckross online. Looks a fabulous day out, and free for large parts of it!
ReplyDeleteIt is mostly free the veg artist and you can even hire a bike or walk from Killarney town to Muckross.
Delete*sigh* Truly you live in God's own country! Thank you for the pictures!
ReplyDeleteLike I say in the blog Debby I never tire of walking round Muckross.
DeletePS we call doctor flies 'horse flies' here, and they are bastardly things.
DeleteA good description of very nasty creatures Debby. They silently inject our flesh with their poison. The midges are a nuisance sometimes too.
DeleteIt does look lovely there, and such a glorious sunny day too. You are very fortunate to have that almost on your doorstep.
ReplyDeleteThanks JayCee. It was a very hot day and well worth a stop off on the way back to West Cork.
