The Ewe Experience

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!

One of the most delightful and inspiring gardens I have ever visited. I understand the house is now up for sale so if you want to go, go now!! Wish I had enough money to buy it, it’s truly living the dream…

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

What a magical place, I loved every minute of it and enjoyed watching the kids reactions as we stumbled across hidden creatures, finding secret spaces, making beautiful music. It's so good I want to go again on my own so I can read all the gorgeous poetry, totally taking my time wandering thought this mystical place. I've been aching to get here for many years and I'm so glad I did before it finally shuts buts doors at the end of August. Thanks so much for creating this joy filled place where everyone experiences the wonder of childhood again.

An experience not to be missed. Absolutely love this place. So glad to get to revisit before it closes. Thanks so much for a rare location, setting and story. Staff super, loved the multi talents on display here. I loved all the poetry and green emphasis. Good luck to Kurt and Sheena for their future.

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.

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.
