The nineteenth-century Victorian mansion is set against the stunning beauty of Killarney National Park, close to the shores of Muckross Lake – one of Killarney’s three lakes, famed worldwide for their splendour and beauty and the ideal base from which to explore this landscape.

Discover the heritage, tradition and relaxation, Queen Victoria did in 1861. Today, much remains the same – the elegantly furnished rooms portray the lifestyles of the landed gentry, while downstairs in the basement, one can experience the working conditions of the servants.

Relieve the past at Muckross Traditional Farms with three 1930’s working farms. Meet the Mna Tí (women of the house) as they go about their daily chores baking bread on the open fire and butter making. Watch farm labourers, carpenters & blacksmiths who work by hand, and visit the School Master in the schoolhouse.
