Welcome
Glanleam was the home of the Knights of Kerry. Sir Peter Fitzgerald, the 19th Knight, realised the almost frost free conditions. He laid out 40 acres of a subtropical garden around Glanleam House in a wild Robinsonian style, interplanting natural habitats with exotics. This, along with recent extensive additions, have resulted in an enchanted garden, a subtropical paradise, a rain forest and a jungle all at the same time. Glanleam is famous for Southern Hemisphere & Asian plants thriving in the mild climate of Valentia Island. Contact
