GILLIGHAN'S  WORLD

"Knocknashee", legendary " Hill of the Faeries",

one of the 7 sacred hills of  Ireland.

Fun for schools, coach tours, birthday parties, family groups, and overseas visitors or for those seeking peace and spiritual comfort.

A stone tunnel entrance, with  dolmen and amphitheatre rising out of lush green lawns commence your escape from the "real world"  into a land of  artistry and imagination.

Botannical gardens, and natural flora and fauna blend together, enhanced by  "faerie habitats" in miniature model villages and "enchanted" glades. Streams and secluded seating areas create a magical atmosphere, whilst  a visit to the "faerie fort" offers spectacular panoramic views.

Play facilities, quizzes and competitions keep young amused allowing adults freedom to relax. Friendly staff  offer information on history and faerie folklore.
