Derreen was planted 120 years ago. The growth of exotic plants from many parts of the world caused by the high rainfall of Kerry gives one the impression of walking through a tropical jungle.

The tree ferns from Australia grow side by side with clumps of huge bamboos which contrast with the towering conifers and the many brilliant coloured rhododendrons.

Though the garden is at its peak for three months in the spring there ismuch to see at all times of the year.

The garden boasts unrivalled views of Kilmakilloge Bay and the Caha Mountains.

Open: April 1st - October 31st
