About Glengarriff
Glengarriff is a village in the Beara Peninsula of County Cork, Ireland. It sits at the northern head of Glengarriff Bay.
The setting of Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve is spectacular, with the woods nestled in the sheltered glen opening out into Glengarriff Harbour. Above the woods rise the Caha Mountains, with their dramatic layers of sheer rock.
Garnish Island (or Ilnacullin/Garinish) is located in the sheltered harbour of Glengarriff in Bantry Bay. It is world renowned for its gardens which are laid out in beautiful walks and features some stunning specimen plants, rare in this climate.
Glengarriff Bamboo Park is a fascinating exotic garden with palms and ferns as well as over 100 types of bamboo.
The Ewe is Ireland´s first interactive sculpture garden is just a short drive from the village.
Glengarriff adventure playground, a good choice for children, is situated in the Blue Pool Park, in the heart of the village.
Glengarriff is a paradise for walkers and there are walks suitable for all levels of fitness.
Glengarriff is a good starting point for touring West Cork with the Beara Peninsula right on the doorstep. The Ring of Beara is the route that takes in all of the area through Adrigole, Healy Pass, Lauragh, Eyeries, Allihies, Dursey Island and the fishing port of Castletownbere.
