There are few gardens anywhere in Ireland where rare trees and shrubs are grown so successfully and in such a harmonious setting as the beautiful Robinsonian garden of Annes Grove.
Set on a sloping site around an elegant early eighteenth-century house overlooking the River Awbeg, the thirty-acre garden is filled with thousands of thriving plants in a layout that merges unobtrusively into the landscape.

Description
The visitor will first notice the Victorian planting. Along the avenue are some fine mature trees, including an Abies magnifica from California at least sixty-six feet high and a Japanese Yezo spruce some fifty-feet tall.
The Walled Garden, formerly devoted to kitchen produce, was transformed by Richard Grove Annesley in 1907 into a large ornamental garden. The Water Garden in the gorge was begun in 1902 when Richard Grove Annesley employed a battalion of soldiers from the nearby barracks of Fermoy to divert the Awbeg River so that it flowed closer to the house.
They created an island, built weirs and rapids and later constructed bridges to span the river.
