Muckross House is considered a focal point in the stunning Killarney National Park, the oldest national park in Ireland. This enchanting 19th century Victorian mansion is nestled on the little Muckross Peninsula between two captivating lakes, Muckross and Lough Leane. Although a visit to Muckross House in Killarney is fairly straightforward, there are a few need-to-knows that’ll make your visit smoother. You’ll find Muckross House and Gardens in Killarney National Park, around 4km from Killarney Town and a stone’s throw from many of the the areas most popular attractions. There’s a car park right next to Muckross House and Gardens. You’ve a short stroll then to both the House and Muckross Abbey

Personally, I think the best way to see Muckross House and all of the National Park is by foot. If you want to fly the drone I recommend you to do so after closing hours or towards the evening, because this place gets really busy you want to avoid flying over the crowds. There is also various nice angles to take photos from the grounds, the gardens are beautiful.
