Bantry House

Bantry House

Bantry House is a historic house in the southwest of Ireland. It is the ancestral home of the Earl of Bantry. On display in the house is an extensive collection of antiques, tapestries, furniture, artefacts.

Surrounding the house are stately terraced gardens that offer a magnificent view across Bantry Bay.

On the Bantry House estate you will also find the French Armada center, where you can learn all about the (failed) invasion plans of 1796.

Visiting the house and gardens requires a fee (5 euros for just the gardens and the Armada center; 10 euros if you want to look around inside the house as well). It is well worth seeing and a perfect activity for a rainy day.
