POWERSCOURT HOUSE & GARDENS
Powerscourt is one of the world’s great gardens and is
located 20km south of Dublin City Centre. Set against the
backdrop of the great Sugarloaf Mountain, Powerscourt is
stunning in every season. From the ornate
Italian Gardens,
to the formal walks of the Rose and Kitchen Gardens, there
are many hidden treasures to explore. With over 200
varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers this 47 acres has
something for everyone.
The Gardens
were laid out over a period of 150 years and were designed
to create a garden that was part of the wider landscape,
creating one of the most majestic vistas in Ireland. Fine
statuary and ironworks collected from across Europe adorn
these magnificent Gardens.
The Palladian Mansion
was destroyed by fire in 1974 and re-opened in 1996, but not
to its original glory. It is now home to a range of craft
and interior shops featuring Irish Design.
The Terrace cafe
offers Irish artisan home cooked cuisine.
