Killarney

a market town in the county of Kerry, Ireland. It lies on the route of travel between Cork and England. The famous lakes of Killarney, a series of three connected bodies of water, are in the immediate vicinity. They are surrounded by the mountains of Kerry and are widely celebrated. "The beauty of the scenery consists in the gracefulness of the mountain outlines, the rich and varied coloring of the wooded shores deepening through gray rock and light green arbutus to brown mountain heath and dark firs." The town has a permanent population of about 5,500. Many thousand visitors come every summer to make the tour of the lakes. The ruins of the ancient abbey of Muckross and other antiquities lend added charm to one of the most delightful trips in the United Kingdom.
