Study Ireland – Stories & Guides from International Students

The Ring of Kerry is one of the most famous attractions in Ireland. It is famous for its amazing natural scenery and long cultural history. As a classic self-driving route, it brings together mountains, lakes, waterfalls and ancient castles. As early as last year, I heard about the Ring of Kerry, so at the beginning of this semester, my friends and I drove to the Ring of Kerry. Along the way, we saw a lot of beautiful scenery and had a lot of fun. 

Ross Castle 

Ross Castle was built in the 15th century and is a typical Irish tower castle. It is located by the lake, surrounded by mountains and waters, and is full of medieval atmosphere. When we stood in front of the castle, the breeze blew from the lake, as if we could hear the whisper of time. Looking at the lake and the mountains in the distance, the scenery is breathtaking. 

Killarney National Park 

Killarney National Park is famous for its vast forest vegetation. The green paths and beautiful flowers in the park make people feel like they have walked into a fairy tale world. My friend and I took a walk in the park, looking at the lush green surroundings, and felt extremely peaceful. It makes people feel close to nature. 

Torc Waterfall 

Torc Waterfall is a beautiful waterfall hidden in the forest. The water pouring down from the mountains, and the sound of water is like a natural symphony. We walked up the steps to the waterfall and felt the coolness of the mist. Some tourists chose to hike on the nearby trails, and we were also impressed by the tranquility and natural beauty here. 

This trip not only allowed me to see the beautiful scenery of Ireland, but also made me cherish the time with my friends. The laughter and beautiful moments we experienced together along the way will become one of the most precious memories in my life. 

The journey of the Ring of Kerry is a baptism of the soul, and every attraction makes people feel the infinite charm of nature. If you have the opportunity, I strongly recommend everyone to experience the magnificence and tranquility of this land in person.
