Created in the 1800s, this formal Italianate garden is laid out on seven terraces overlooking Bantry Bay. Its highlights include rhododendrons, exotic plantings and a formal parterre with central fountain surrounded by wisteria. If you’re feeling energetic, take the hundred steps stone staircase up to the woodland. The north terraces, set with 14 circular beds, provide magnificent views across the bay.
