Lisselan Gardens

Cork

The natural features of the Argideen river valley have been skilfully encompassed in the planting of the 12ha of gardens, where exotic plants flourish in the unusually mild climate.

Lisselan Gardens was designed in the 1800s and laid out in Robinsonian style, enhancing the natural features and contours provided by the valley and the river Argideen flowing throughout.

"The rockery is the glory of this garden. It is one of the most beautiful features in the county, breathtaking and definitely worth travelling to see."
Shirley Lanigan, O'Brien Guide to Irish Gardens
