Review:
Ross Castle is a tower house dating from the 15th century. The castle was the home of the O’Donoghue clan but its later owners, the Browns of Killarney, are much more famous. The castle is a stunning example of a typical Irish castle from the Middle Ages, and the interior is furnished with oak furniture from the 16th and 17th centuries. The castle is open seasonally and the public can tour it only on a docent-guided tour, which is about 40 minutes in duration. The castle is a very popular attraction and becomes quite busy in the summer, so visitors should expect to wait a bit for a tour if they visit during high season.
