“What makes the gardens at Powerscourt so remarkable is their grandeur of scale combined, as so rarely happens, with great delicacy and refinement of detail. Their setting is superb, but their design and execution are worthy of it. Meticulously kept, every part of the gardens rewards the closest study. Powerscourt is a magnificent example of an aristocratic garden laid out with taste, knowledge and imagination.” Peter Coats – “Great Gardens of the Western World”

A Warm Welcome to Powerscourt!
“Welcome to Powerscourt, set in the heart of the mountains of County Wicklow. Home to the Wingfield Family since the 1600’s, the Estate passed hands to the Slazenger Family in 1961 and we have been fortunate enough to live in this beautiful place for over 50 years. Whether you are a first time or seasoned visitor, there is so much to see and enjoy at Powerscourt. Our world famous gardens offer many hidden treasures – from a walk through the formal Italian garden, to the maze of walkways and hidden grottos in the Japanese Garden. The gardens, the highest waterfall in Ireland, the delightful cuisine of the terrace café, championship golf – whatever brings you to Powerscourt we look forward to seeing you and sharing the magic of this 1,000 acre Estate. I hope you enjoy your day out at Powerscourt as much as we appreciate living and working here.
”
Best wishes

The Japanese Garden Towards the end of Tower Valley is Lord Londonderry’s stone seat, perched high above the Japanese Garden; it was a favourite retreat of Lord Londonderry. The Japanese Garden was laid out over 100 years ago in 1908 by the 8th Viscount and Viscountess Powerscourt on reclaimed bog land to the south of Triton Lake. It was the last major addition to the gardens, over 180 years after work first commenced on the masterpiece that is Powerscourt Gardens.

An air of 18th century romance still pervades here, with its secret pathways and romantic atmosphere.

in China and Japan for thousands of years and were first brought to Europe in 1830. The upper circle provides stunning views of the Japanese Garden and the Sugar Loaf Mountain in the distance. There is a beautiful concept behind each of these circles: working inwards, we discover our inner selves; working outwards and upwards we gain greater knowledge of the world around us.

The Dolphin Pond The Dolphin Pond was once known as ‘The Green Pond’ and is one of the oldest parts of Powerscourt Gardens, even appearing on a 1740 map of the estate as a fish pond. In the summertime, the pond is decorated with lilies and irises which give it a green sheen, hence its old name. The new name is derived from its central fountain which features four dolphins and was brought from Paris by the 7th Viscount in the late 19th century. The Dolphin Pond is surrounded by magnificent trees, including a line of Japanese Red Cedars (Cryptomeria japonica) which were planted about 1864 and the tallest Eucalyptus in Ireland. There are many conifers for which the Estate is famous, and a row of Giant Wellingtonias (Sequoiadendrongiganteum) from California.

The Pets’ Cemetery The Largest Pets’ Cemetery in Ireland One of the most interesting parts of Powerscourt Gardens is the Pets’ Cemetery which is the resting place of the much loved pets of the Wingfield and Slazenger families. It is situated along the Rhododendron Walk and features striking Azaleas, Rhododendrons and Roses in the summer months. The cemetery is believed to be the largest pets’ cemetery in any private Irish garden.
The Much-Loved Pets of Powerscourt The families had a wide variety of pets including children’s ponies ‘Tommy’ and his wife ‘Magic’ as well as ‘Swift’ and ‘Bully.’ Another favourite pet included ‘Eugenie’ the Jersey cow who had 17 calves and produced over 100,000 gallons of milk! The names of the pets such as ‘Mrs Mare’, ‘Little Bots’ and ‘Doodles Chow’ are a joy to read.
