South
Coast & Garden Tour
Details:
Dublin's beautiful
south coast is seen at its best from a double-deck touring bus. Along
the great sweep of Dublin Bay, past Dun Laoghaire's elegant promenade
and yacht-filled harbour, to James Joyce's Tower at Sandycove, the sea
views are unsurpassed.Turning inland, the tour climbs into the
beautiful Wicklow Mountains and continues through the enchanting
old-world village of Enniskerry to Powerscourt House & Gardens.
The estate, in its spectacular mountain setting, is among the finest in
Europe and has featured in many films including Mel Gibson's
'Braveheart'. You'll have lots of time to explore the grounds to see
the Italian, Japanese and walled gardens or browse the renowned Avoca
Handweavers shop and cafe. Before returning to Dublin the tour passes
through the dramatic geographical fault known as The Scalp and the
ever-changing scenery of the Wicklow and Dublin mountains.
