Innisfallen Island

Description

Located in Lough Leane; one of the famous three Lakes of Killarney, is the picturesque island of Innisfallen. Steeped in history and home to settlements which date back to the 7th century, Innisfallen is a definite must-visit when in Killarney. It was once an important educational centre and is believed to be where Brian Boru studied and where the renowned Annals of Innisfallen were compiled. Today, visitors to the island will come across the remains of 12th century Romanesque church as well as an Augustinian Priory. The island is located about a kilometre and a half from the shores of Ross Castle; from where boat trips to Innisfallen operate.
