Killarney National Park Oakwoods
Forest · Ireland
Sessile oak and holly climb the lower slopes of Torc and Tomies mountains above Lough Leane, one of the largest native oakwoods left in Ireland. Nearby, Reenadinna Wood on the Muckross Peninsula holds a 5,000-year-old yew stand, and arbutus trees drop red, strawberry-like fruit onto the woodland floor as the oaks turn.
