Powerscourt House & Gardens
Recommended by
Overview
Powerscourt Gardens are just 20km south of Dublin City Centre, set against the backdrop of Sugarloaf Mountain. The gardens are stunning in any season, from the ornate Italian Gardens to the formal walks of the Rose and Kitchen Gardens. Laid out over a period of 150 years, with over 200 varieties of tree, shrub and flower, these 47 acres of garden has something for everyone. Among the gardens are a variety of fine statuary and ironworks collected from across Europe. The Palladian Mansion is now home to the best Irish design and features craft and interior shops. An audiovisual presentation provides more information on the history of the Estate.

About the area
The combination of a well-preserved monastic settlement with a beautiful lake and mountain setting makes Glendalough and the Wicklow Mountains one of eastern Ireland’s premier attractions.
The reclusive St Kevin first established a monastic presence in this glacial valley in AD 570.
