Award Winning Family Owned Park and Farm 

Gleninchaquin Park provides breath-taking landscapes and scenery in which it is a sheer delight to wander around over streams with log bridges, mountain paths with carved steps, through rock passages, along glens and lakes to higher altitude. Marvel at the view overlooking the lakes, delicate green meadows, a spectacular 140 metre high waterfall, woodlands and Kenmare Bay, all framed by the Killarney McGillicuddy Reeks along the horizon.


This idyllic valley is perfectly suited for day outings with the entire family. Ample parking facilities are provided close to the waterfall and picnic areas. The walk routes around the waterfall, cascades, streams, woodlands and lakes are accessible for all ages. Also, feel free to bring your own lunch basket or enjoy our home baking, teas and coffee refreshments.

Latest News
So far this month we have had unseasonal weather, it has rained most days but at Gleninchaquin this is not a negative, water is one of the park's many atractive features. Three rivers flow here, two originate within the park, one from each of the two lakes, both very different in character. One, from Cummeenaloughaun in the upper valley, creates Inchaquin Falls, a spetacular waterfall after rain. The second river issues out of Cummeenadillure, rushing down hill over boulders and flat sheets of bedrock and through the twin aches of a stone bridge. The third river delineates the northen boundary of the park and is the most charming ofn the water features as it flows over bedrock that runs along the river bed in steps creating flutes, pools and cascades. Families come and play in its water and walk along its wooded banks.
