Ilnacullin
Designed by Harold Peto for the owner Annan Bryce in 1910, this island garden, probably better known as Garnish Island (properly Garinish Island) or The Italian Gardens, was bequeathed to the Irish people in 1953. With a favourable micro-climate Ilnacullin is home to an array of sub-tropical plants in a magnificent setting. Structures include a clock tower, Grecian Temple, Martello Tower, Italian Tea House or "Casita" and an Italian Temple. Access is by small boat from Glengarriff.
