Go Wild this weekend? check out Malahide Castle, Newbridge House and the Casino Model Railway Museum

Malahide Castle & Gardens

Malahide Castle was home to the Talbot family for nearly 800 years and with a history dating back to 1185, there are plenty of stories to be told.

Enjoy a guided tour of Dublin’s most loved medieval castle just 10 minutes from Dublin Airport and 13km from Dublin City centre. See the splendour of Lord Milo Talbot’s walled botanical garden, The Butterfly House and West Lawn. Take a break and breath of fresh air on Avoca’s café terrace overlooking the walled garden, or engage in some retail therapy in the Museum Shop in the visitor centre

Newbridge House & Farm

Newbridge House & Farm is an 18th 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.
