What to see
Danu Escape is the perfect base to explore our beautiful county of Kerry and its surroundings
Torc Waterfall
is a waterfall at the base of Torc Mountain, about 5 miles (8.0 km) from Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland. The falls are one of the landmarks on the 200 kilometre Kerry Way walking tour, and are encompassed in the Killarney National Park. Red deer are frequently seen and heard in the area.
Easy access and parking make the site popular with walkers and tour bus groups, who often visit as part of the Ring of Kerry tour. A public hiking trail stretches from the waterfall to the top of Torc Mountain.
Killarney House Gardens
"Stunning Gardens with Mountain Backdrop"
​
Recently willed to the town, these lovely gardens are a peaceful oasis in the centre of Killarney. Pleasant paths skirt along expanses of manicured lawns, shaped trees, and flowerbeds. Cherry Lane, spectacular in spring when the trees lining the road are in full bloom, leads to Knockreer Estate and Ross Castle. The gardens' centrepiece is Killarney House. Once an immense stable, it was converted into a stylish home in the early 1900s. The house is currently undergoing extensive restoration and is closed to the public. The interesting exterior provides a charming foil for the surrounding gardens.
