The Gap of Dunloe


Killarney National Park is the largest in Ireland, preserving lakes, forests, wildlife and castles. At Ross Castle, we boarded a boat for an hour long ride through the lower, middle and upper lakes. We passed under a few bridges to reach our destination, the start of the pony cart ride over the Gap of Dunloe.


The pony takes a break and gets a drink at a natural spring.


We spotted a beautiful pheasant on the shore of the lake.


Our pony, Queenie, pulled our cart up and over the Gap of Dunloe. The sparkling lakes along the way are constantly fed by springs and streams.
