Glengarriff is nestled by the foothills of the Caha Mountain range and its climate is mild and temperate due to the Jet Stream which warms the waters of Bantry Bay.

Glengarriff is also one of the few areas in the British Isles which still retains much of the ancient woodlands which once covered these islands.

This magnificent reserve was once the property of Lord Bantry but is now a public amenity with miles of walks, picnic areas and river trails etc In summer many visitors from all around the globe, flock to the area to enjoy the many pleasures of West Cork such as our unique flora and fauna, angling, sailing, whale watching, woodland walks, garnish island and adventure holidays amongst many others.
