The 1000 acre farm at Tully has been in use as a Stud Farm since 1900 when it was owned by Col. William Hall-Walker. It is home to some of Ireland’s finest thoroughbreds. There’s a Horse Museum tracing the history of the horse in Ireland using artifacts, illustrations and text, and the Skeleton of the legendary steeplechaser ‘Arkle’. The Japanese Gardens are situated in the grounds of the Stud Farm and were created between 1906-1910. They are planned to symbolize the ‘Life of Man’ from the cradle to the grave.
St. Fiachra’s Garden was designed as a Millennium Project and seems to capture the power of the Irish landscape in its rawest state that of rock and water. It has almost 4 acres of woodland and lakeside walks.”

The Cliffs have also been voted as the most romantic place in Ireland by Lonely Planet. They are 214 meters high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometers over the Atlantic Ocean.
