Carraig Abhainn is a 30 year labour of love for life time gardeners Eugene and Hazel Wiseman. A three acre garden in the heart of Durrus, yet an oasis of peace and serenity. Enhanced by the woodland setting and surrounding mill stream, river and spectacular waterfall, our many tender and rare plants thrive in this mild, sheltered climate, providing continuous interest from March through to October with its brilliant autumn colours.
Special features include: • Five locally made bridges • Spectacular gunnera plants • Unique sculptures and statues throughout • Self guiding walkways including a camelia walk with over 60 camelias • A charming portico with landscape painting by local artist • Several benches allowing you to relax with only the sounds of the river to distract
