From Killarney you can walk to a ridge overlooking Loch Lian. This is the largest of Killarney’s lakes, with 30 small islands on the loch. On the largest of these, Innisfollen Island, you can see the ruins of the 7th century abbey founded by St. Finan Lobhar. Dunlow Castle can be seen on the way to the abbey. It was built in 1215 and is now a hotel. There are a number of Ogham stones in its grounds. Before reaching Dunlow Gorge, tourists pass Kate Kearney’s cottage. It is now a bar, and in the 19th century it was home to a beauty who sold illegally brewed whisky.
