The grounds and gardens of Powerscourt are stunning! This home has been owned by only 2 family's in over 400 years! The Windfield family from 1603 and now the Slazenger family. It stretches over 47 acres and offer a magnificent view of Sugarloaf mountain. It was probably 10 degrees cooler up in the hills, and the driveway winds through a golf course to the House and Gardens. There was a wedding in progress, when we arrived, but in co existed with the hundreds of visitors, who come to this top 10 attraction in Ireland.
