Danger, mystery and beauty combine in this diverse series of gardens. Enter the poison garden if you dare, to see some of the world’s most toxic plants, including mandrake and opium poppies. In the rock close, you’ll encounter ancient yews, giant-leaved gunnera, druidic stones and the magical wishing steps. There’s plenty more too, including a jungle, bog garden and woodland walks, not to mention the castle’s famous Blarney Stone.
