Ladies View, Lakes of Killarney

Ladies View is a super famous spot in Killarney National Park, Ireland. It's a place where you can see amazing views of mountains, lakes, and green valleys. It's located on the Ring of Kerry, which is a popular road trip route for tourists. Ladies View is about 12 miles (19 km) from Killarney town, along the N71 road that goes to Kenmare.

This viewpoint is so beautiful that it's been called one of the most photographed places in Ireland by Irish Times. The Daily Edge even said its views are among the best for sharing on Instagram!

Why is it Called Ladies View?

The name "Ladies View" has a cool story behind it. It comes from Queen Victoria's visit to Ireland in 1861. When the Queen's ladies-in-waiting (who were like her personal assistants and friends) saw the view, they were so impressed and loved it so much that the spot was named after their admiration!

What You Can Find There

At the main Ladies View spot, there's a small car park where people can stop and enjoy the scenery. There's also a cozy cafe called Ladies View Industries. It's a great place to grab a drink or a snack while enjoying the stunning landscape around you.
