Best national parks in Ireland
Ireland’s national parks are all state-owned, free to enter and concentrated on the western seaboard. Killarney, the first, from 1932, is the busiest: the lakes, Muckross House and Abbey, Torc waterfall, native oakwoods and the country’s only wild herd of red deer, toured by jaunting car, boat and bicycle, with the Gap of Dunloe trip the classic day. Connemara, at Letterfrack, is a small park whose marked loops climb Diamond Hill for a view over bog, quartzite peaks and the Atlantic.

Glenveagh, in Donegal, is a glacial valley with a Victorian castle and gardens at the lakeside, reached by shuttle bus from the visitor centre, and golden eagles reintroduced since 2000. The Wicklow Mountains, an hour from Dublin, are the largest park, and include the monastic valley of Glendalough, the usual object of day tours from the capital. The weather is changeable in every month; May and June are statistically the driest and brightest, and midges are at their worst on still summer evenings.
