Bantry House stands on a promontory overlooking Bantry Bay in West Cork. Constructed in the 1740s for Richard White, 1st Earl of Bantry, it is the ancestral home of the White family. The house underwent significant expansion in the early 19th century, becoming one of the largest private homes in Ireland. It features a notable collection of furniture, paintings and objets d'art accumulated by successive generations of the family. The surrounding estate includes extensive gardens which are open to the public; these gardens benefit from a microclimate allowing for the cultivation of plants not typically found in Ireland.
