Powerscourt House Gardens
This historic manor and its breathtaking grounds have been named one of the best gardens and one of the best houses in the world.
About
Powerscourt House and Gardens began as a 13th century castle before being transformed into a country house by the German architect Richard Cassels in the 18th century. A hundred years later, the 7th Viscount Powerscourt, Mervyn Wingfield, began an extensive renovation of the house and gardens, taking inspiration from the Palace of Versailles, Schönbrunn Palace near Vienna, and Schwetzingen Castle near Heidelberg. The result is the 3rd best garden in the world according to National Geographic. The 47 acre grounds include everything from formal walled gardens, a “Dolphin Pond”, serene Japanese gardens, an endearing pet cemetery, and even a stone tower modelled after a pepperpot. The manor, gutted by a fire in 1974, now offers visitors a fine shopping experience, and pleasant cafe from which to enjoy the manor’s spectacular views with a delicious snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
