Parknasilla —County Kerry
Beautifully situated, the charming scenery of Parknasilla, with its combination of sea, wood and mountain, makes for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. It nestles between the sea, studded with islands and Knockanamadane Hill 273 metres, on the magnificent coastline of the Kenmare River. Because of the effects of the Gulf Stream and its sheltered situation, the area has a genial climate and subtropical plants and vegetation flourishes. Parknasilla is associated with George Bernard Shaw, who frequently holidayed in the Great Southern Hotel and wrote some of works there. Since then the hotel has attracted many famous overseas visitors, among them Prince Rainier and Princess Grace of Monaco.
