'''Ilnacullin Gardens''' on Garinish Island. +353 (0)27 63040. ''Access by boat from the Blue Pool.'' The island was originally a military outpost; and a barracks and Martello Tower were built against the threat of a Napoleonic invasion. The island was purchased from the War Office in 1910 by Annan Bryce, who commissioned English architect Harold Peto to design a house and garden. Thousands of tons of topsoil were imported to the then bare, rocky island and shelter belts were planted, creating a micro-climate in which a number of tender plants thrive. The house was never built, and the Casita and Italian garden remain the centrepiece of the gardens. There are also very fine herbaceous borders. The gardens are now maintained by the Office of Public Works. Open March to October: Monday - Saturday 10:00 - 16:30 Sundays 13:00 - 17:00.
