Fota House, Cork

Fota Gardens

Often bypassed by families making tracks for the neighbouring wildlife park, Fota Arboretum & Gardens offers an idyllic alternative day out in East Cork. The historic estate features walled gardens, a stunning orangery and endless picnic lawns, while the period house is a worthy contender for Home of the Year (circa 1750).
