Powerscourt Estate and Garden- Ireland

Our next stop was Dublin, Ireland. This is Powerscourt Estate in Enniskerry, about an hour's drive from Dublin. Not super impressive from the front...

But this is what it looks like from the back! 

We were told to go through the side garden first. I think the guide was just trying to manage crowd control. 




Every good estate needs a turret tower. 


Bud occasionally waits while I scurry about taking photos. He's very patient. 














The inside of the estate was gutted by fire and never really restored. 

This used to be the ballroom. 

The ringlets are fascinating! 

Back outside, now that the rain has momentarily stopped





I waited a long time to get the steps without people. It was impossible. 

Another good excursion!
