Wildflower Walks Around The Lake House Kerry This Summer

From the meadows to the mountains, summer in Kerry explodes in colour. If you're staying with us during July or August, grab your walking shoes and a camera—wildflower season is in full swing.

Where to Wander

• Gleninchaquin Park: A stunning walk through valleys and past waterfalls. Wild orchids and foxgloves thrive here.

• The Beara Way: Choose a lakeside stretch to enjoy blooming heather, gorse, and wild grasses.

• Derreen Garden: While technically a garden, its wild woodland paths are bursting with colour and texture.

What to Look For

• Foxgloves: Tall purple spires

• Yellow Iris: Found along lake shores

• Dog Rose: Pale pink and fragrant

• Heather: A sea of purple on higher trails

Make It Fun for Everyone

• Bring a wildflower book or app

• Create a photo scavenger hunt

• Pack a small picnic to enjoy mid-hike

Note on Conservation

Don’t pick the flowers! Take only photos, leave only footprints.
