Powerscourt House
richard January 17th, 2007
One of the world’s greatest gardens, Powerscourt is situated 19km (12 miles) south of Dublin in the foothills of the Wicklow mountains. It is a sublime blend of formal gardens, sweeping terraces, statuary and ornamental lakes together with secret hollows, rambling walks and also over 200 variations of trees and shrubs.
The 18th Century Palladian House was destroyed in an accidental fire in 1974 and for some years stood as an empty shell. It has since been rebuilt and now incorporates an innovative shopping experience, terrace café and house exhibition.
Facilities include garden pavilion, interiors, shops, gallery and an 18- hole golf course.
