Newbridge House & Farm

Newbridge House & Farm is an 18^th Century hidden gem located in Donabate, North County Dublin, just 10 minutes from Dublin Airport.

If you’re coming from the north, we are just off the M1, so no major diversion is needed for coaches travelling on the Belfast – Dublin route.

Nestled on 350 acres, Newbridge House was built back in 1736 by the Archbishop of Dublin, Charles Cobbe, as his country residence. Knowledgeable and passionate tour guides are on hand to bring the story of the Cobbe family to life for visitors,  showcasing some of the finest examples of Georgian period architecture. The house and the 30-acre working farm are open daily for tours.
