The Dromgariff Rainforest is a project coordinated by Bryan and Tara Meehan, focused on the restoration of the gardens and the forest. This area constitutes one of the last ancient oak tropical forests in Ireland and is classified as a protected Special Area of Conservation, covering the southern part of the country.
Historically, the site was once home to the Roche's Royal Hotel and its gardens. Although the hotel no longer exists, elements of its former landscape are still visible in the forest, such as stone walls, terraces, stone steps, and a garden called Rockery.
