Miglior citazione da Killarney : Secrets de Châteaux et Légendes Irlandaises
Que ce soit le château qui a résisté aux sièges, l'abbaye qui a survécu aux persécutions ou la forêt qui a survécu à la déforestation, tout à Killarney raconte la même histoire : celle de la résilience.

Le Ross Castle était protégé par une architecture défensive redoutable, incluant des "trous à meurtre" (murder holes) par lesquels les défenseurs jetaient du sable brûlant ou de l'eau bouillante, ainsi que des escaliers en colimaçon conçus pour désavantager les assaillants droitiers. Les troupes de Cromwell n'ont réussi à prendre la forteresse qu'en 1652 en transportant des bateaux d'artillerie par voie terrestre pour attaquer depuis le lac. Cette manœuvre a réalisé une ancienne prophétie locale affirmant que le château ne tomberait que si un navire de guerre naviguait sur le Lough Leane, provoquant la capitulation immédiate des défenseurs.
L'if de Muckross se trouve au cœur du cloître de l'abbaye franciscaine et serait plus ancien que le bâtiment lui-même, construit en 1448. Considéré comme un arbre sacré par les druides bien avant l'arrivée du christianisme, il symbolise l'éternité en raison de sa longévité millénaire. Une curiosité biologique locale précise que seul le cerf élaphe du parc national de Killarney peut consommer la partie charnue de ses baies toxiques sans s'empoisonner, à condition de ne pas croquer la graine mortelle.
En prévision de la visite de la reine Victoria en 1861, la famille Herbert a entrepris des travaux colossaux pendant des années pour transformer leur manoir de 65 pièces. Ils ont investi des sommes astronomiques dans la décoration, l'aménagement des jardins et la fabrication de meubles sur mesure pour un séjour qui n'a duré que deux jours. Ces dépenses excessives ont provoqué un déclin financier dont la famille ne s'est jamais véritablement remise, illustrant le coût social et économique du prestige royal au 19ème siècle.
Le moyen de transport le plus emblématique est le "jaunting car", une calèche traditionnelle tirée par des chevaux et conduite par des "jarvies" qui partagent anecdotes et légendes locales. Pour explorer les trois lacs géants, les visiteurs utilisent souvent des bateaux partant du quai de Ross Castle, permettant notamment d'accéder à l'île d'Innisfallen. Le vélo reste également une option privilégiée grâce à un réseau de pistes cyclables balisées qui relient les principaux sites historiques comme le manoir de Muckross et la cascade de Torc.
