Family Hotel Breaks - Lakes

You can Visit Ireland for family hotel breaks. Mountains McGillycuddy’s Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland. And at the foot of the mountains you'll find the glimmering waters of the world famous Lakes of Killarney. The panoramic combination of craggy mountains, shimmering lakes, shady woods and sparkling waterfalls under ever changing Irish skies gives the area a special scenic beauty that you'll find nowhere else. The heart of the Killarney National Park is the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park. This section of the park was presented to the Irish government back in 1932 by Senator Arthur Vincent and his parents-in-law, Mr and Mrs William Bowers Bourn as a loving memoriam to Senator Vincent's late wife Maud Bourne Vincent.

Killarney National Park contains many natural features that are recognized both nationally and internationally for their ecological importance. Among these are the beautiful native oak woods and the yew woods, as well as a wide variety of evergreen trees, shrubs, bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts) and lichens which thrive in the mild climate found in the Killarney area. And the plants aren't the only attraction. The native red deer you'll see here have been in this area since the last Ice Age, and they are unique in Ireland.
