Newbridge House and Farm Tours
For a pastoral experience without having to venture far from the city, spend a few hours at Newbridge House and Farm. Explore the 30-acre (12-hectare) traditional farm and meet its charming residents, including pigs, Connemara ponies, chicks, and more. Then tour the house, one of Ireland’s finest examples of Georgian architecture.
The Basics
Feel as if you’ve gone back in time as you visit the impeccably restored Newbridge House and Farm. Wander the woodlands and meadows on your own, then admire the house’s furnishings and ornate plasterwork as a guide walks you through Irish history. Highlights include the Cabinet of Curiosities, filled with antiquities and oddities, and the Red Drawing Room, home to an 18th-century private art collection. To save time, buy your ticket online in advance.

Children can check out the Farmyard Discovery Trail for an interactive experience navigating the farmyard and paddocks while completing challenges and learning along the way.
