Why Powerscourt Estate and Gardens matters

Powerscourt is often named among the finest gardens in the world, and the setting helps. Terraces step down to a lake, flanked by statues and clipped hedges, with the Sugar Loaf mountain beyond. A visit is easy from Dublin and combines well with Glendalough.

Talking points

  • Formal terraces overlook a lake.
  • The Sugar Loaf rises behind.
