Innisfallen Island 2



The diversity, uniqueness and luxuriance of Innisfallen Island vegetation includes the oakwoods and the Yew Wood. It is also famous for it mosses, liverworts and lichens and the rare Killarney fern is still found at a number of locations. The native Irish red deer roam free.



Innisfallen Island 1

Innisfallen island can be seen in the distance from Ross Castle out beyond the entrance to the bay. A monastery was founded on Innisfallen in the 7th century and it became a seat of learning and it said that King Brian Boru studied there. On the island are the remains of the extensive 12th century Augustinian priory and a small 11th -12th century Romanesque church. The annals of Innisfallen, a major source of early Irish history and now stored in the Bodleian Library in Oxford were written there.
