Group Travel suggested Full Day trips
Option 1 : Into the West
Irish National Stud. Spread over 958
acres in Kildare, the stud is a ‘must-see’ for anyone with an interest in
horses. First set up in 1945 to promote the interests of the Irish bloodstock
industry the stud has now developed into an international tourist attraction.
The Japanese Gardens were created in 1906
and have been carefully preserved as one of the gems of Ireland’s heritage. The
significance of the gardens is not only artistic and horticultural but also
philosophical, religious and historical. Most of the gardens have disabled
access and toilets.
Kildare Village Outlet Shopping Centre.
With over 40 boutiques selling the top designer names at up to 60% discount,
this is the place for the serious shopper.
Option 2 : Down South
Powers Court Gardens
Visit one of Europe’s finest houses only 20 km from Dublin. First built in the
1700’s this magnificent house with its 47 acres of gardens and woodlands has
been remodelled and redesigned over the last two and a half centuries.
Glendalough
One of the most important sites of monastic ruins in Ireland. The settlement was
founded by St. Kevin in the 6th century and the ruins, including a round tower,
stone churches and decorated crosses, are set in a beautiful glaciated valley
with two lakes.
Bray
Bray is one of Irelands longest established seaside resorts. Its safe sandy
beach, overlooked by Bray Head , is fronted by a spacious esplanade, perfect for
taking the sea air.
