Powerscourt Estate, Glendalough and Avoca Day Trip from Dublin

Enjoy a leisurely drive into the heart of Wicklow's scenic countryside on this stimulating day trip from Dublin. You'll delve into Ireland's history at magnificent Powerscourt Estate, visit the ancient monastic settlement of Glendalough and spend time in the charming village of Avoca.

You'll be suitably impressed by the magnificent historic house and gardens of Powerscourt Estate. Dating back to the 18th century, Powerscourt's gardens command views over the surrounding countryside, and the house is one of Ireland's finest.

Your tour continues into the heart of the Wicklow Mountains to Glendalough. Glendalough is a truly spellbinding place, home to the impressive 10th-century Round Tower. After your guided tour of this beautiful spiritual site, you will have time to enjoy lunch (not included in the tour cost), surrounded by the magnificent Wicklow Mountains.

Before returning to Dublin, you'll visit the Avoca, used as the location for the BBC series Ballykissangel. You'll have time to visit the Avoca Handweavers and craft shop, reputed to be the oldest weaving mill in Ireland.
