Known as the Garden of Ireland, County Wicklow offers an array of stunning landscapes and attractions, but the crown jewel is undoubtedly the Powerscourt Estate.



Powerscourt Estate ticks so many boxes for visitors to Ireland.

- For those staying in Dublin it is a perfect day trip from the city.

- I love the Powerscourt Hotel as a first night's stay - after a long international flight there is nothing so good as a comfortable bed!

- The hotel is also terrific for a final night if you have an afternoon flight, it's under an hour from Dublin Airport.

- The gardens are amazing - 3rd best in the world according to National Geographic - and a prefect spot for exploration

- If you like whiskey the Powerscourt Distillery does a lovely tour. I highly recommend the paired tasting menu featuring local foods.

- Whether you dabble in golf or consider yourself accomplished at the game the two championship parkland golf courses are a stunning location for a round or two.
