Garnish Island
Sight / Landscape
Glengarish A small island in Bantry Bay near Glengariff is Garinish Island. Due to its sheltered location and thanks to the Gulf Stream, many subtropical and tropical plants grow here. On the island is a garden that is assigned to individual subject areas, e.g. B. ´Italian Garden´ or ´Valley of Happiness´ You will find an overwhelming bloom of rhododendrons, camellias, magnolias, azaleas and many other plants. The island has a fantastic location with views over the sea and the Caha Mountains of the Beara Peninsula. On the drive you get very close to seals sunning themselves on small rocks in the sea just waiting for the pleasure boats to pose for the cameras The owner of the island, Annan Bryce commissioned the English architect Harold Peto to design the gardens of Garinish Island. Annan Bryce bought the island in 1910. He had a mansion built there with a spacious garden. In 1953 the island became state property. Since then, visitors have been able to enjoy the beauties of the island. The ferry ride to the island is a beautiful tour, as is the garden itself. There is a small cafe on the island by the jetty where you can really take it all in.
