Bamboo Park Glengarriff Cork Ireland

This is a unique setting (13 acres) on one of the most beautiful bays in Ireland. It creates the illusion that it is a lake but in fact it is the Ocean. Bamboos, palms, tree ferns, etc. what else could you ask for in the Southern part of Ireland, it lacks the excessive heat of the Mediterranean but looks like you’re in it. Some visitors are telling us: it’s heaven! Peace and quiet atmosphere, friendly reception at arrival, multilingual, seasonal tickets available and wedding photographs by appointment.

Coffee shop with homemade cakes baked every morning.

Ewe Sculpture Garden Schull West Cork Ireland

Often described as ‘Ireland’s Eden’ The Ewe is a unique combination of nature, art and narrative – a private home and Irelands’s only interactive sculpture garden. The whole family can enjoy mind challenging games, creative areas and story boards for a learning experience like no other in a one kilometre walk. Four separate gardens of around five acres are set on a mountainside, along a beautiful waterfall. Visitors enter Falling Water Garden, before going to to the Timeless Glen, a shady forest clearing, higher up the Environmental Forest, where all sculptures are made from re-cycled materials, and finally the Valley of Eden with spectacular views to the mountains and the sea.

Widely featured in the media. ‘ Ireland’s #1 garden’ Irish Times.

CHARITY DAY: Saturday 9th June.
