Gleninchaquin Park

Absolutely beautiful. Lady at reception was so friendly as well. Perfect 2hr hike if you're in the area. We did the purple trail and then joined the red trail back around. Would highly reccomend

This spot was amazing! We spent our last full day in Ireland following part of the red and purple trails here. We were a group ranging from 4 to nearly 70 snd everyone loved it! The views are amazing! We loved walking with the sheep, that was the highlight for my two girls. The host at the reception at the entrance was super helpful in helping us to decide which hike to do and even provided my girls with some lollipops! We loved it here, definitely a must do if in the area!

Fabulous views. The red trail is a good hike … recommend starting from the waterfall as that’s the hardest part done first and then you can really enjoy the views on the way down. The yellow route has the steeper part done by the time you get to the divergence of the route into left for Red & right for yellow (waterfall start). There’s still climbing/scrambling over rocks and inclines but wow, the views. You definitely need boots for the yellow and would recommend for red too as rocky and mucky in parts. Both trails are easy to follow. You’ll feel tired & elated at the end!

Incredible place, so many beautiful spots and angles for photos. Do pack some good waterproof shoes if visiting. The routes are really well organised and marked and the park owners/staff were very welcoming and helpful. A unique example of Ireland's spirit!

We discovered this beautiful park almost by accident as we found ourselves with a half day in the are we were not expecting. We were delighted to discover that our dog was welcome. The road in is exhilarating and a really fun drive. Sheila is fantastic and although we arrived at 4.30, we were assured that there was no problem setting off at that time. We didn't really have any proper walking gear with us so she recommended we do the Heritage trail which takes about an hour. We took a bit longer as we loitered at the punch bowl lake and the beautifully evocative famine cottage . I would 100% recommend a half day or full day here if you have the time. Bring a picnic! €7 entry is a bargain! Thanks Sheila and family

Well worth a visit with spectacular views and plenty of opportunities to take breathtaking photos and videos. We were greeted by Sheila, who was very friendly, chatty, and informative. It's a bit of a trek, but I'll definitely be back.

Amazing place, such beautiful scenery and warm welcome from the couple & their 2 girls , not to mention Johnny the black sheep!! We did the red & purple trail over the top of the waterfall, took just over 2 hours at a leisurely pace. Easy location to get to, plenty of parking, trails very well marked. Remember to bring cash as no wifi in this scenic area. We will be back to do the yellow trail soon. Definitely one for the bucket list when you’re in south Kerry.

Hiked the yellow/red trails. Yellow trail is definitely not for beginners; proper preparation (well-fitting waterproof footwear, drinking water or water purification gear, rain gear, maybe even an extra pair of dry socks) is critical. Yellow trail was surprisingly muddy for most of its length, even up high, and one or two spots are a bit exposed (don't slip or lose your grip!) and require scrambling. Fantastic views and a great workout though! Definitely will take you to a crest where you can overlook the valley on the other side of the park. Banger of a hike (so long as you can handle the wet and mud)! If you tie it in with a visit to the stone circle on the way in, you will have an awesome day trip from Kenmare.
