Höjdpunkter

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 är Irlands vänliga, litterära huvudstad vid floden Liffey, en stad av georgianska torg, historiska pubar, livemusik och en gåva för berättande.

Trinity College rymmer den illuminerade Book of Kells och det höga biblioteket Long Room, medan Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral och St Patrick's Cathedral följer stadens medeltida och koloniala förflutna. Georgianska torg som Merrion Square, med sina klarfärgade dörrar, och den gröna ytan St Stephen's Green ger elegant lugn.
