Highlights

Dublin’s beautiful Marlay Park is more than just a beloved green space. It’s where history, nature, and art meet. On this walking tour, you’ll discover the fascinating evolution of this aristocratic estate – from medieval farmland to public park – which spans over 500 years of Irish history. The tour begins at the Wicklow Way starting point, where you’ll hear some of the fascinating stories hidden within this 120-hectare urban oasis at the Dublin Mountains’ foothills. You’ll walk the historic grounds once owned by Barnaby Fitzpatrick, hearing the intriguing tale of how he went from Irish king to English baron in the 1500s when this land was first confiscated from Cistercian monks. You’ll wander through ancient woodlands and past curious art installations, and see beautifully restored walled gardens. Here, you’ll meet the colourful residents of the aviary, including peacocks that wander freely throughout the gardens, before ending the tour at the impressive Georgian Marlay House.

About Dublin

Dublin, Irlands freundliche, literarische Hauptstadt an der Liffey: georgianische Plätze, historische Pubs, Livemusik und Erzählkunst.

Das Trinity College birgt das illuminierte Book of Kells und die himmelhohe Bibliothek der Long Room, während Dublin Castle, die Christ Church Cathedral und die St. Patrick's Cathedral die mittelalterliche und koloniale Vergangenheit der Stadt nachzeichnen. Georgianische Plätze wie der Merrion Square mit ihren bunt gestrichenen Türen und die grüne Weite von St Stephen's Green sorgen für elegante Ruhe.
