Fernhills Garden’s semi-wild forty acres are designed to meld with the landscape around them. Planted along Robinsonian - or Arts and Craft - lines, their spectacular setting beside Dublin Bay is enhanced by rhododendrons, magnolias and camellias. Other highlights include an unusual Victorian laurel lawn, a cascading multilayered water garden, an Edwardian Rockery, a heather bank, a fernery and a kitchen garden. Look out for the blue rhododendron augustinii and three giant Wellingtonias reaching 130 feet high. Victorian favourites, they date from the garden’s origins in the 1860s.
