Glenview Gardens in Enniskeane

 Glenview Gardens in Enniskeane

Glenview consists of a number of different type of gardens, with each style flowing into the next, in a beautiful 3 to 4 acre site at Desert, close to Enniskeane in West Cork. Gardeners will love it and there is fun for all the family as it is full of surprises. Kids will enjoy visiting the Fairy Fort built right through the birch mound or searching for the houses in the Fairies woods. Like all gardens, it changes through the seasons. Perhaps they should do a season ticket! More info here.
Just one of many "animals" you'll meet. The real animals, two goats and a few rabbits are far more confined.

Tearooms are closed at present due to covid but there are places, like
this series of tables, where you may picnic if you bring your own. By the way, our visit here followed top class lunch at Poachers Inn in Bandon, details here.

An impressive double row of hedges surround this grassed circle.

The White Garden, the first you'll come across, is one of a number of themed gardens.

There's a small aviary here.

Many butterflies here, especially by the
buddleia bushes.
