Killarney tourist information

Killarney is a town in County Kerry, southwestern Ireland. The town is located north of the MacGillicuddy Reeks, on the northeastern shore of the Lough Lein/Leane which are part of Killarney National Park. The town and its surrounding region are home to St. Mary's Cathedral, Ross Castle, Muckross House and Abbey, Lakes of Killarney, Torc Waterfall and the Gap of Dunloe.

Killarney was awarded the prestigious "Best Kept Town" award in 2007 in a cross-border competition jointly organised by the Department of the Environment and the Northern Ireland Amenity Council. Owing to its natural heritage, history and proximity to the Dingle Peninsula, Skellig Michael island and its location on the Ring of Kerry, Killarney is a popular tourist destination.

On Sep 5th 2011 Killarney was named Ireland's tidiest town (similar to the award it won in 2007). The Co Kerry town also scooped the prize for Ireland's tidiest large town. It comes just a week after the town was declared the cleanest in the country by Irish Business Against Litter.
