Itinerary

Dublin

Depart Dublin’s historic Heuston Station and travel southwest by train through the lush farmland of Kildare and across the famous Curragh, home to Ireland’s horse-breeding industry and racecourse. Continue through the rolling countryside of Tipperary and Limerick Junction before arriving in Mallow, where your Railtours Ireland host will assist with a smooth connection to Killarney.

On arrival, board your coach for a full-day tour of the spectacular Ring of Kerry. Highlights include a visit to the Kerry Bog Village Museum, a unique insight into 18th-century rural life, and sweeping views of Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain. Stop at scenic villages such as Glenbeigh, Waterville, and Sneem, with photo opportunities at every turn, including the famous Skellig Rocks, made famous by Star Wars. Enjoy a relaxed lunch en route before continuing through valleys, along sparkling bays, and finally to Ladies View overlooking the Lakes of Killarney and the oak woodlands of Killarney National Park.

At the end of the day, return to Killarney Station for your evening rail journey back to Dublin, arriving at Heuston Station in the late evening.
