 Bantry
House and Gardens
Bantry House was bought by the White
family in 1730 and was enlarged by Richard White the 2nd Earl of Bantry.
The house has a collection of tapestries, furniture and art treasures which
were mainly collected by the Earl during his travels through Europe in the 1800's. The Gardens are home to sub
tropical plants and shrubs - reflecting the best in European design and
style. Features with the 45 acre grounds are the Hundred Steps, the Italian Garden
and the largest Wisteria circle in Ireland.
The House and Gardens are open to the
public along with an exhibition centre in the east Stableyard explaining
the history of the attempted French invasion of 1796.
Bantry House also offers Bed and
Breakfast accommodation in the wings of the main house. Guests have
exclusive use of a billiard room and main library in the evenings. We offer
2 helipad landing sites. Tennis can be played on the northern terraces in
the summer.
The House is owned by Mr and Mrs Egerton
Shelswell-White.
