Nestled on the southern coast or west cork, Liss Ara Estate epitomizes the enchantment or the irisn countryside on a vast aomain coverea with cypresses and century-old cedars. In this elegant victorian-style manor we offer guest rooms furnished in a modern country style and divided between three buildings, each with its unique character. Its restaurant features in-season produce from the garden and meat and fish supplied by local producers, for a farm-to-table culinary experience.

James Turrell’s The Irish Sky Garden

For over half a century, the internationally renowned landscape artist James Turrell has worked directly with light and space to create artworks that engage viewers with the limits and wonder of human perception. New Yorker critic Calvin Tompkins writes, “His work is not about light, or a record of light; it is light — the physical presence of light made manifest in sensory form.”
