Powerscourt Gardens, House & Waterfall

The Powerscourt Gardens and House are absolutely gorgeous (and were even voted the #3 garden in the world by National Geographic). One can easily spend an hour or an entire day here enjoying the gardens. They are perfectly manicured and offer some great views. In addition, the house offers plenty of unique shopping for guests.

The Powerscourt Waterfall, which is about a 10 minute drive away, is also worth a visit (but does require a separate fee). This is the tallest waterfall in Ireland and is well worth the visit. It's also a great place to have a picnic lunch.
