Trees of Powerscourt Gardens

The Gardens stretch over 47 acres and offer visitors a sublime blend of formal gardens, sweeping terraces, statues and ornamental lakes, secret hollows and rambling walks.
Managed by Head Gardener, Alex Slazenger and a team of four gardeners, Powerscourt Gardens were designed from 1731 onwards, with the desire to create a garden which was part of the wider surrounding landscape. Powerscourt Gardens include The Walled Gardens, The Italian Garden, The Dolphin Pond, The Japanese Gardens, Pets Cemetery and Pepperpot Tower, among other features and attractions.

What people say

“The view and the gardens are simply romantic, spacious and beautiful. With the mountains in the background it presents an awesome setting.”

“Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to these beautiful manicured gardens. Allow yourself a few hours to wander and take in the scenery. The perfumed roses were spectacular. Lovely to take the time to just sit and drink in the beauty. The shops and cafe were very nice as well.”

“We have recently visited a number of old houses with delightful gardens, and I can honestly say this is the best we have visited, and is always the one we compare the others against.”
