The Ewe Experience

Special and imaginative place. Take the winding walk around this creative and immersive space. Sadly this place is closing unless someone else takes over. I hope it can continue.

Really nice peaceful place. The sound of the waterfall followed us around the while way. Kurt and Sheena have really put their heart into the place. It's an awful pity it's closing.

I’m so glad we got to see this before it closes. Imaginative, challenging in parts, thought provoking and great fun - only a couple more days to run but I’d definitely recommend it

Special corner in the world!! Visit this summer if you are anywhere near Cork and Kerry border. Has its own sense of magic in there. Hope whoever purchases this property in future will preserve its wonder!

Amazingly nice place, especially the second part up the hill. So sad to know it's your last weeks..

Glengarriffs amazing treasure - a must see for every visitor to West Cork especially anyone interested in nature, the environment, humanity and the universe. Sheena and Kurt have painstakingly and beautifully created an amazing journey through the natural forest surrounding their home. The level of detail and research into every piece of art and learning is incredible. I can only describe it as a passionate labour of love inspired by the desire to present a view of the world and nature that every person should encounter. While it’s possible to simply walk through the kaleidoscope of learning in a short timescale I highly recommend giving at least 2 hours to fully engage and immerse yourself in all that’s on offer. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Sheena and Kurt for the love you have put into this project. It’s a great reminder of how we live in harmony with nature and how we need to sustain that with important lifestyle choices. The earth will thank you for your passion.

If you have ever imagined a fairytale trail or thought of visiting some unusual magic places - there you go! The Ewe Experience in Glengariff is the most fascinating sculpture parks I have ever visited before 🤩 This is not just a park - this is also a leaving house and the workshop too for this beautiful and friendly couple! Artists managed to fill every little corner of the park with piece of art 🎨 ✨️ There are also interactive caves where you can imagine yourself a musicians and play "drums" with bamboo twigs on metal plates and other sorts of dishes 🎵🎶💿🥁 There is a game of optical illusion and see through "broken glass" making a simple picture as a part of mosaic 🎨 Lot's of other games to play through the park and lot's of exhibits to see 👀 This walk took us about 1.5h up and down through the nature masterpiece combined with artistic point of view of beauty 😁 ❗️Hurry if you wish to see it before park closed. Visitors season is up to 1st of September ❗️

Pretty unique experience. Can't understand some bad reviews as the owner at the entrance explained everything you need to know. The first part is flat with some interactive games, very fun for the little ones, second and longest part is a trail with uneven stairs in the forest, so be ready with appropriate shoes and knowing people with mobility issues could not be able to do it. We went with 2 children, one of them interested on reading EVERYTHING (and there is a lot to read) and the trail took us around 2 hours. It was Sunday and we arrived at 1pm and there were enough parking space. There is a treasure hunt with a surprise gift of you complete it, but I would say it's not very child friendly, we were only able to find 3 out of 8 (and it was my husband and myself the ones who found them, they children weren't able to find a single one)

Wow! We wouldn't have known to come here if it hadn't been for an enthusiastic recommendation from the staff at the Eccles Hotel. So glad we listened to them. There's no real address. Use your gps coordinates or look for the sign about 3 miles outside of town. Plenty of parking. As the web site explains, it's almost impossible to describe this place. It's part outdoor garden with sculptures and part exhibits to explain the world (with an emphasis on conservation). There are things to see around every bend -- some obvious and marked; others slightly hidden as if you're on a scavenger hunt. The grounds are bigger than they appear. It took us about 90 mins to compete the loop. If we had read every sign, we likely would have needed another hour. Follow the numbered signs from 1 to 50. In places it's a little steep so you'll want good walking shoes. There's lots of things that are interactive and it's designed to be interesting for all ages. The amount of thought and planning that went into this is difficult to fathom. One of the owners told us that they have been working on it for 26 years. This is a must-see if you're in the area but t's only open during summer months. In 2019, it closed Sept 8.
