A day exploring some of the delights of Wicklow. We first head to Russborough, built in 1741, and home to one of the finest guided house tours in Ireland. From art lovers to historians to the curious passer-by, the tour will leave you feeling inspired. Boasting a fascinating history, landscaped gardens and parkland, Russborough is a stunning Palladian Mansion and is truly one of the most beautiful houses in Ireland. We then head to the famous Mount Usher Gardens. Criss-crossed with dainty footbridges, the River Vartry flows through the centre of this authentic Robinsonian garden, with its enviable collection of trees, shrubs and plants. Voted ‘Best Garden to visit in Ireland’ by BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine, Monty Don has nominated Mount Usher as one of his favourite gardens.
