Ross Castle

Ross Castle, on the edge of Lough Leane in Killarney National Park, is a well-preserved 15th-century tower house linked to the Gaelic chieftain O’Donoghue Mór. Its lakeside setting, restored interior, and connections to local legend make it a worthwhile stop for visitors interested in medieval Irish history. The castle also serves as a departure point for boat trips on the Killarney lakes, adding to its appeal for those combining heritage sightseeing with scenic views.
