Garinish Island, also known as Ilnacullin, is a charming island garden located in Bantry Bay, off the coast of Glengarriff in County Cork. Created in the early 20th century by Annan and Violet Bryce along with architect Harold Peto, this hidden gem boasts a unique mix of horticultural wonders and architectural delights. Visitors can hop on a short boat ride to the island, where they can explore the Italian gardens, the Grecian Temple, and even catch a glimpse of the local seal colony. With its mild climate and lush plant life, Garinish Island is a perfect spot for a peaceful and scenic day trip.
