Often described as “Ireland’s Eden” the Ewe is a unique combination of nature, art and narrative – a private home and Ireland’s only interactive sculpture garden. The whole family can enjoy mind challenging games, creative areas and story boards for a learning experience like no other in a one km walk.
Four separate gardens of around 5 acres are set on a mountainside, along a beautiful waterfall. Visitors enter Falling Water Garden, before going on to the Timeless Glen a shady forest clearing. Higher up is the Environmental Forest, where all sculptures are made from re-cycled materials, and finally the Valley of Eden, with spectacular views to the mountains and the sea.
The garden is widely featured in the media. It has been described as ‘Ireland’s #1 garden’ in the Irish Times
