Whether you aspire to beautifully manicured borders or enjoy a wander through wild woodland; whether you like to know the name of every exotic shrub or are content to gaze wordlessly at a native wild-flower meadow, there’s a garden in West Cork which will inform and inspire you. These oases of tranquillity are bathed in the balm of the Gulf Stream which encourages the luxuriant sub-tropical growth of a kind more usually associated with much lower latitudes.
The gardens are wonderful and diverse, healing and tranquil, exciting and unmissable. So, don’t just rush in and out, stay overnight and take the time to smell the roses. Trust us a few days in the gardens of West Cork, and you’ll be in garden heaven. Each garden is uniquely beautiful and each has its own story to tell. Come with us as we take a stroll through some of these glorious gardens.
