Bantry Bay House and the surrounding gardens must have been breath taking in their heyday, but even now in old age there is still great beauty to be seen. In a country where so many old buildings have been destroyed and replaced with structures of questionable merit it is a delight to see somewhere so touchingly lovely. I don’t envy the owners the task of keeping the buildings from collapse and the garden from being overwhelmed by rampant growth, but as a visitor I could revel in the romance of it all.
