The Gardens at The Dunloe

Walk around the World in our Gardens at The Dunloe

You can walk around the world in an hour in the gardens at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens. The voyage starts with Chilean fir trees and leads on to Australian gums, South African lilies, New Zealand cabbage trees, New Zealand cherries, Japanese maples, North American dogwoods, South American fuchsias and back to a Killarney strawberry tree.

The gardens surrounding the shell of MacThomas' medieval keep have a dramatic setting looking towards the mountains girdled by the Ring of Kerry. Camellias, magnolias, roses and rhododendrons flourish in the sheltered grounds together with rare specimens such as the aromatic-leaved 'Headache' tree. Explore the gardens with a leisurely stroll or guided tours available on request.

Bicycle hire is also available at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens to explore the local countryside, suitable for all ages and equipped with repair kits and helmet.

Those who wish to go further afield, long range E-bikes are also available. Our team will be happy to assist with more information on bicycle hire during your stay at The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens.
