Ross Castle

Das Ross Castle gehört zu den Haupt-​Sehenswürdigkeiten im Killarney National Park.
Es ist eine schöné alte Burg, die inmitten von beeindruckender Natur liegt.
Leider von Touristen etwas überlaufen, die mit ihren Smartphones überall ständig Selfies machen.
Ruhe und noch mehr unfassbar schöné Natur findet man direkt hinter dem Ross Castle auf der Ross Island, die zu Fuß erreichbar ist.

Fan inconditionnelle de vieux château je né pouvais pas passer à coté de celui là. Cependant je reste un peu déçue.
Le château de l’extérieur est vraiment magnifique en bordure du lac. De belles photos sont à prendre.
Cependant je suis déçue par l’intérieur. Le château avait été très délabré dans les années antérieurs et d’énormes travaux de rénovation ont étés nécessaires. Par conséquent l’intérieur n’est en rien d’aspect naturel malgrés quelques meubles datant des années 1600. Il faut dire que j’aime voir les choses en l’état.
Cependant la visite était très intéressante concernant l’histoire de ce château et comment les gens vivaient à l’époque.

A cool castle, beautiful scenery overlooking a gorgeous lake. Take the tour to see the inside of the castle, it lasts about 30 – 40 minutes and is VERY informative. There is a tremendous amount of history here and well worth a visit.

Great location for the castle. The views of the water are so peaceful. Nice walk around the grounds.

Magnificent small castle on the banks of a river /​lough. Wonderful photo opportunities here… and along the river where all the colorful boats are tied up in succession. Peaceful and makes you feel as if you are back in the days of yore… no things of this century clutter the grounds.

Wir haben kurz gestoppt, waren dem Regen davongefahren aber nur kurz :-)
Ross Castle selbst ist weniger spektakulär, schön anzuschauen und ein netter Blick über den See, aber die ganze Gegend ist einfach nur stark (). immer wieder gerne nach Irland

Small and stunning, you can walk up and around the castle overlooking the water. There are horse and carriage tours that start from this point as well as boat tours to the Gap of Dunloe, which is what we did — really great spot.

I went on the tour of Ross Castle, which cost me only two euro which I was delighted with! The tour was great, and we had a very knowledgeable guide, however I had to leave the tour early as I just could not bring myself to climb the steep stairs.
I walked back downstairs and was subsequently rushed outside by a receptionist into the rain, even though I had paid for the tour, and was waiting on a friend to return from it. Felt a little sore after that, but in general I would recommend this tour to history buffs, as the castle was built during the 1500’s and boasts a colourful history to say the least!

A small but stunning castle in the middle of the National Park. It is on the river bank and you can spend a good time seeing the castle, taking pictures and watching the swans and ducks (bring some bread for treats).
This would be a perfect place to picnic and watch the river and boats go by. Worth seeing, definitely!

bf and i were quite excited about spending some time in the outdoors over in killarney… ross castle turned out to be an awesome castle in killarney national park…
you can bring a little picnic (sandwiches from the gas station across from hotel!), enjoy it on the grounds (lucky for us, blue skies all the way!), and then rent yourself a rowboat and fishing pole and row over to check out the monestary across the way (be careful to heed any wind/​direction suggestions from the locals… they def know the lake!)!

There is a nice view of the lake but the castle is not very interesting…

ROSS CASTLE
Ross Castle in Killarney has been much changed since it was started in the 15^th century. It was falling away dangerously some years back but a long period of work by the Office of Public Works has seen it re-​opened to the public. It is a popular and busy site and you could well have delays during the summer months.
It overlooks the famous lakes and there are fine views, views that you may enjoy without entering the castle itself. There are some pleasant walks in the vicinity (most notably through the National Park) and also places where you may picnic. Boats can be hired here.

While you are spoilt for choice for visiting castles when in Ireland, Ross Castle in County Kerry was spectacular. It dates back to the 15^th century.
It is on a huge lake with hills and woodland around it, very atmospheric. The castle is very interesting, you are taken on a guided tour with a small number of people. There is also a temporary exhibition space.
You can also take boat trips on the lake which I’d highly recommend.
