Garinish island is not so much a challenge in terms of a hike but a visit here to learn how a barren piece of rock in Bantry Bay was transformed into a garden paradise. A stroll around the small island affords views that are up there with what you see on 600 metre plus mountains. Combine this with a walk around the nearby Glengariff Woods nature reserve and you will have a lovely day! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/2481/comment/20540/
