The gardens and grand Palladian villa at Powerscourt, south of Dublin, were designed in the 18th century and punctuate 19 hectares (47 acres) of formal walled gardens and shaded ponds. The grounds, waterfalls,
parks, garden pavilions, and fine tree-lined arbors were suggested by the Italian Renaissance and the great estates and gardens of France and Germany. Cascading terraces and formal landscapes are planned with carefully designed walks that are framed by the gentle beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.
Today our visitors continue to enjoy the gardens which first began to
take shape over two and a half centuries ago. The charming walled
garden, the striking terraces, fine statuary and varied trees are linked
by carefully designed walks and set in the magnificent surroundings of
the Wicklow mountains. Together they form one of the most beautiful
Gardens in Ireland.
