Bantry House & Gardens
An outdoor historic-house-gardens in Cork
A magnificent historic house set in award-winning gardens overlooking Bantry Bay. Families can explore the opulent rooms filled with antiques and art, while children enjoy running through the expansive lawns and terraced gardens. The highlight for kids is the 'Walled Garden' with its playful layout and the chance to spot peacocks roaming the grounds.
The tearoom offers light lunches and homemade treats, and there is a small playground near the café. The house is furnished with period pieces, which might be of more interest to older children and adults, but younger ones can still appreciate the grand spaces. The gardens include several distinct areas: the Italian Garden, the Rose Garden, and the Woodland Walk. A visit can be combined with a trip to nearby Bantry town.
