Galway city centre itself which is often referred to as Ireland’s festival capital and an ever popular honeymoon stopover. In County Clare the Burren offers a romantic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the Cliffs of Moher continue to amaze those that gaze over its steep sea views.

This garden provides visitors with magnificent seasonal colours and has 12ha of gardens and woodlands with a variety of plants, trees, shrubs and flowers that flourish in this mild Gulf Stream enhanced climate.
