Kerry's Scenic Lakes
County Kerry’s landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring a mix of expansive lowland waters and high-altitude corrie lakes. This collection includes Lough Leane, the largest of Killarney’s three lakes, known for its historical monastic ruins and medieval castle. Further west, Lough Currane provides a premier habitat for Atlantic salmon and sea trout. The list also highlights remote mountain tarns like Coomlougha, situated within the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, and Looscaunagh Lough, which marks the entrance to the rugged Black Valley.
