An Amenity Rich Setting
Stunning at a glance, Glinbury enjoys a magnificent natural setting benefitting from centuries of decorative planting selected to enhance the already significant natural beauty of the Glin Valley. While the gardens reflect the victorian tradition of collecting plant species from across the world the design is more in keeping with contemporary concepts of supporting nature rather than manicuring it. The result is an inimitable verdant garden setting benefitting from centuries of thoughtful design and planting.
