	Fota Island Arboretum, County Cork
		The gardens at Fota were begun in 1825 after John Barry-Smith, a descendant of the Earls of Barrymore who held this island from the twelfth century, commissioned Richard Morrison and his son Vitruvius to transform an old hunting box into his principal Irish residence.
		Amongst the original plantings at Fota is a marvellous Lebanese cedar planted in 1825 and undercarpeted with cyclamen.
		Though not part of the arboretum, it is worth visiting, as is the pond with its little island and bordering of arum and white and pink lilies floating on the surface.
