Ladies View, Scenic viewpoint in County Kerry, Ireland

Ladies View is a scenic viewpoint in County Kerry that captures three lakes, mountains, and valleys of Killarney National Park in a single vista from the N71 road. The location includes parking facilities and a café positioned between Killarney and Kenmare.

The site gained its name after Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting visited during a royal tour of Ireland in 1861. Since then, it has become an established stop for visitors exploring the Killarney region.

The name comes from Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting, who were allowed to step down from the carriage to admire the panorama during the royal visit of 1861. The sign at the spot records their pleasure at the view. The Irish Times has ranked Ladies View among Ireland's most photographed places, and the Daily Edge placed its views among Ireland's finest on Instagram.

The viewpoint is easily accessible with ample parking directly off the N71 road and is open to visitors year-round. Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountain area, so checking conditions before your visit helps ensure you see the full panorama.

The sign at the viewpoint records that the name comes from the pleasure expressed by Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting on their visit to this spot in 1861. In October 2017 a tourist couple almost drove their rental car over the cliff edge into the valley below.
