    Beautiful remembrance garden comprising of 343 trees. One for each fire fighter that gave their lives in 9/11 terrorist attack on the twin towers in New York.

    Our guide took us to this gem of a memorial. Very unique garden, can't believe Kathleen Murphy took it upon herself to create this place in her homeland.

    What a truly humbling experience. Our guide Chris showed this place to us when we had extra time after going to Blarney castle. It's one of those places that most tourists won't have the honor to go see, simply because it's not advertised. So the short story of this memorial: There's a woman who grew up in Kinsale but worked as a nurse in NYC for 20+ years. She was there when 9-11 happened and knew a lot of the firefighters that perished there, trying to save others. When she retired and moved back to Kinsale, she created this memorial garden and planted a tree for every firefighter that died during the rescue efforts. As an American, it was truly touching to see another country honor our fallen firefighters. Again, truly humbling.

    Magnificent tribute that was the concept of Kathleen Cait Murphy who had worked in NY and who knew Fr Michael Judge. A marker and tree for the 343 Firefighters and Father who lost their lives in 9/11.

    This 9/11 memorial garden is a fantastic way to remember the 343 members of the New York Fire Department that lost their lives on that day. The people that look after the garden should be congratulated on a fantastic job. I would encourage everyone to visit this lovely tranquil and peaceful garden. It's only a 5 minute drive from Kinsale on the road to Garrettstown

    We took a taxi down to kinsale and the driver took us here free of charge to show us this area. It's a sad but a nice sight.

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Never knew about this place till i arrived in Kinsale and it was a lovely surprise to find out about it. A heart touching garden made by a person deeply affected by a tragic event. It shows that even thought people can be separated by miles we can still feel the need to reach out to one another in anyway they can.
