Nearby Glengarriff
Glengarriff is a small seaside village positioned on sheltered Bantry Bay surrounded by high rugged mountains pocked with old bogs being farmed for peat. Notable among local attractions are the Italian Gardens on Garnish Island Inacullin,which may be visited by boat trip. Offering a broad view of the surrounding area,the round Martello Tower on the island was built to guard against a threatened Napoleonic invasion that never materialized.
In the nearby Glengarriff Forest is the glen that gave Glengarriff its name, (loosely translated as: rough glen) containing some of the oldest and most extensive oak and birch groves left in Ireland. A short but steep trail leads up to Lady Bantry’s Lookout,offering a stunning vista of Glengarriff and the west Cork area. Also of interest are the Bamboo Park behind Toad Hall,the local amenity area featuring a new child’s playground and Blue Pool lagoon,nearby Barley Lake and the historic Eccles Hotel. Walking trails in the area are extensive,kayaking on the bay is regularly scheduled,and live music is frequently available in the evenings at local pubs,particularly during the tourist season. Glengarriff also offers shops,art galleries,pubs,restaurants &other services.
