Cashel House Gardens

Set at the head of Cashel Bay, Cashel House gardens are informal country house style gardens based on a number of woodland glades. Cashel House itself is a mid century gracious country house owned and run by the McEvilly family as a luxurious, four star country house hotel, with a fine dining restaurant, both strong draws in themselves. But the gardens are an attraction onto their own. Cashel House's Gardens are set among 50 acres of woodlands, with walking paths leading to a stunning variety of lush, well maintained landscape. Cashel House Gardens contain a profusion of roses both old fashioned and modern and many herbaceous plants with naturalised day lillies, astilbes and primulas also gunnera, camelias, magnolias, azaleas, eucryphia and rhododedrons. The walled garden (now known as the secret garden) was an orchard where in 1919 Jack O�Mara felled the apple trees and used the walled garden as an area in which to plant many rare trees and shrubs which he collected from all over the world.
