Breath taking performance together with the violinist who literarily made the violin talk she play in with such passion she could have been the star performer on her own. Great selection of songs sung by Vivienne Long who payed the Cello and keyboard with great gusto. Frank Burkitt sang his own creations and played the guitar.

Bray Head Cliff Walk

Reviewed By Jane0607 - Whitstable, United Kingdom

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.

Festina Lente Equestrian Centre & Walled Gardens

Festina Lente is an embracing not-for-profit organisation founded in 1988 which hosts an Equestrian Centre, Walled Gardens, Garden Centre & Educational Training Centre and provides a range of occupational, learning and employment opportunities for people whose needs have not been met in mainstream services. All activities encourage individual choice, personal development, achievement and progression. Our campus is situated in the grounds of what was once Old Connaught House: formerly the residence of the Plunket family. Festina Lente (Latin) means Hasten Slowly and is the Plunket family motto. We adopted this as the name of our organisation in 1995 because it conveys our culture perfectly. On the campus there is a two and a half acre Victorian Walled Garden. The Garden was once part of the Plunket estate and was developed during the family's ownership. Each Baron Plunket made changes to the Garden which included the addition of the kitchen garden, a large greenhouse and a pool garden. Today the Ornamental Garden has a beautiful fountain, various flower beds, borders, statues and a variety of other original features. The Pool Garden has two large rectangular pools; they are home to our terrapins and goldfish. The Kitchen Garden has a spectacular herbaceous border and a working kitchen garden where fruit and vegetables are grown in allotments. The Walled Garden is also home to our Garden Shop where we stock a variety of seeds and plants, as well as various crafts and foods. We have wonderful facilities in our Equestrian Centre; it is both a working and learning environment for hundreds of people every year. We have a reputation for excellence in coaching people of all ages and abilities who, not only learn to ride, they also learn about horse welfare and management.

Killruddery House & Gardens

Reviewed By 389eileenm - Redruth, United Kingdom

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.
