| The
name comes from "An Gleann Garbh" - the rugged
glen - which is derived from the rugged beauty of the
mountains and wooded valleys surrounding the village.
Magnificent views of the Caha Mountains and the bulk of
Sugarloaf can be seen from the numerous viewpoints along
the roads which hug the coastline or wind along the steep
sided valleys. |

| No
introduction to Glengarriff would be complete without
mention of Garnish
Island -
Ireland's most outstanding garden island with its
internationally famous collection of plants and
world-renowned for its Italian Gardens. Whilst making the
short crossing of the placid waters of the inner bay, the
visitor is rewarded by further views of the mainland, and
a host of walks, from strolls in the forest with its
rivers and glades of oak, to more ambitious treks up the
peaks. |
|
|
As well as abundant natural beauty and an inherent
"old world charm, Glengarriff makes an ideal centre
for exploring further afield. The wild scenery of the
Beara Peninsula starts here, whilst the peace and beauty
of the Lakes of Inchigeela, Gougane Barra and the Borlin
Valley are only a short drive away. |
