Killarney is a beautiful Irish town in County Kerry, in southwestern Ireland. As gateway to the Killarney National Park, it wears a rather touristic feel, with businesses geared to support the stream of visitors.

Most visitors simply head towards Killarney National Park. But those who hang around will find a charming town with a number of well-preserved heritage sites. Killarney tends to get rather crowded in summer, so those intending to visit during that time should make their accommodation arrangements well in advance.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
