Hoogtepunten

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 is Ierlands vriendelijke, literaire hoofdstad aan de Liffey, met Georgiaanse pleinen, historische pubs, livemuziek en een talent voor verhalen.

Trinity College bewaart het verluchte Book of Kells en de torenhoge bibliotheek Long Room, terwijl Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral en St Patrick's Cathedral het middeleeuwse en koloniale verleden van de stad schetsen. Georgiaanse pleinen als Merrion Square, met hun felgekleurde deuren, en de groene ruimte van St Stephen's Green zorgen voor elegante rust.

Top-ranked sights in Dublin: Dublin Castle, Temple Bar, Trinity College Dublin.
