    Garnish Island is about 10 mins by boat from the town of Glengarriff. Once a barren island it was purchased and designed as Italian style gardens. It takes about an hour to stroll around the island which has many varied plants from all around the world. The island has the Gulf Stream surrounding the area which gives it a micro climate . Many seals can be seen on the rocks nearby.

    Gougane Barra

    An area of wild and beautiful scenery, this magnificent Forest Park covers over 137 splendid hectares (339 acres). It is tucked in a lush valley at the edge of the Sheehy mountains, where the River Lee rises, flowing to Cork Harbour approximately 89km away. Steeped in history, there is a tiny island at the edge of the lake at the entrance to the Forest Park where St. Finbarr, patron saint of Cork, founded his early Christian monastery in the 6th century. Many people come here to get married in the tiny oratory.

    45 minutes Admission ticket free
