We’ve just had a lovely morning ride out with Aoife at Brennanstown. She made the visit a real joy and took us up over the mountain showing us all there was to see. Our horses were well matched to our abilities and again Aoife made sure we really enjoyed ourselves. We’d definitely come here again. All the social distancing aspects were good and well managed too.

From Dublin City we got the Dart train to Bray. Had a very enjoyable walk to Graystone, had a spot of lunch and then walked back to Bray. As keen walkers it was a relatively easy walk with stunning views. Being the beginning of February we were very lucky with the weather which made it more enjoyable. We then returned to Dublin City.

We visited on Saturday for the market, to be honest the market was a bit disappointing as there were few stalls, I expected to see more local produce. We did visit the gardens which are well maintained with plenty of space to walk around in. We had lunch in the newly converted barn which is really beautiful with loads of space. We had the ham baguette with cheese and apple and fig relish which was delicious, plenty big enough for two to share really. The menu focuses on local produce and the food is well presented, service was prompt and there are plenty of waiting staff to make sure you’re being looked after. The restaurant is very popular and it did have a long wait for tables on Saturday but if you know you’re going you can book a table in advance and not have to queue. It’s a lovely day out.

It was an excellent day out and a nice change. Great fun to watch the octopus-feeding, and the staff were amazingly informative, helpful and friendly, especially Niamh, who was so knowledgeable and interested in her work.There is plenty of fascinating, beautiful - and in some cases, poisonous - creatures to look at, or touch in the touchpool. A lovely day out for anybody, whether solo or with family, and though it is small it is extremely enjoyable.
