Glengarriff is a popular tourist stop between the towns of West Cork and Killarney. Before the motorcar it was on the famous Prince of Wales route from Cork to Killarney that began by rail as far as Bantry. From there, four horse coaches followed the road via Glengarriff and Kenmare to Killarney. Its Ireland's most outstanding garden island, with its internationally famous collection of plants and world-renowned for its Italian Gardens it is one of the most spectacular sights for those of you who love their gardens. Whilst making the short crossing of the placid waters of the inner bay, the visitor is rewarded by further views of the mainland, and a host of walks, from strolls in the forest with its rivers and glades of oak, to more ambitious treks up the peaks. As well as abundant natural beauty and an inherent "old world charm, Glengarriff makes an ideal centre for exploring further a field. The wild scenery of the Beara Peninsula starts here, whilst the peace and beauty of the Lakes of Inchigeela, Gougane Barra and the Borlin Valley are only a short drive away |
