What you will visit:
Powerscourt Waterfall and Nature Trail
Formed over 10,000 years ago, Powerscourt Waterfall towers at 398 feet, Ireland's highest. This beautiful cascade flows down into the Dargle River and is surrounded by woods and specimen trees. A nature trail begins at the waterfall and descends along a ridge carved by glaciations.
Powerscourt Estate and Gardens
Enter this lavish estate along an avenue lined with 200-year-old beech trees. Originally a strategic site for the Anglo-Normans who came to Ireland in the 12th century, in the year 1300, a castle was built by the le Poer (Power) family, from which it takes its name. The grounds are superbly landscaped, formal, Italian and Japanese gardens set against the background of the Wicklow Hills. An audio-video presentation orients guests.
What you will see along the way:
Following a brief introduction to Dublin City, you will travel to County Wicklow, famed as the "Garden of Ireland." Arriving at the seaside town of Bray, you will stop for some brief free time to stroll the pretty promenade before continuing your drive to Powerscourt. Leaving Bray, you will drive through the countryside gazing upon the wild heather-covered glens and tranquil landscapes for which the Irish countryside is famous.
Lunch:
An intimate country hotel in the picturesque village of Enniskerry, nestled under the imposing Sugarloaf Mountain, is the perfect spot to enjoy lunch.
Shopping:
The 18th-century estate offers specialty shops selling linens, woolens, crafts and souvenirs
