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.
