James Turrell’s The Irish Sky Garden
Review
Welcome to this extraordinary Irish location. Nestled in the heart of West Cork, The Sky Garden is unlike anything else you have seen before. Created in 1992, it has the form of a crater. At its base, visitors can find a stone plinth. From there, what you can see is an experience out of this world. Some people like to sit back and look towards the sky, others prefer lying down to look up. Whatever option you choose, it is such a romantic experience. This private garden is a fascinating place that attracts people from around the world. Designed by James Turrell, a talented American artist, it is set in the grounds of the stunning Liss Ard Estate. Having hosted many international events and performances over the years, it is also a wonderful space to organise a wedding. So what are you waiting for? This very unusual site is definitely worth a look.

O’Donovan’s Hotel & An Teach Beag
Clonakilty is a town that wears its history with pride, and O’Donovans Hotel feels like one of the places where that story is still being lived. It’s rare I’m lost for where to begin, but here the past and present are so neatly woven that you notice it in every corner. Bedrooms are honest and cosy,
