Powerscourt Country Manor
by edwis
"About halfway"
from Wicklow Town to Dublin, we took a side trip to the country manor of Powerscourt because Joan recognized the name as a Waterford crystal pattern. Once the retreat of royalty, later belonging to the Slazenger family, it has one of Europe’s finest gardens. A good stop not on our original plan.
Powerscourt House and Gardens
by flyfreak
"Ireland's most famous House & Gardens"
Powerscourt is one of Europe’s great treasures and Ireland’s most famous House & Gardens. Gracing the Wicklow mountains, 20km from Dublin city centre, Powerscourt is a heritage property with a surprising difference.
"Tower Valley"
This wooded valley in the eastern part of the Gardens derives its name from the distinctive Pepper Pot Tower which stands at its head.
"Bushes and trees ...."
... in all kinds of forms!
