31 AUTUMN / WINTER 21
DESTINATION IRELAND
5 . Get Back to Nature
A bright and bracing winter ’ s day is the perfect time to explore the Irish countryside . Combine a stroll through stunning landscapes with an exploration of Ireland ’ s rich history on a visit to the sixthcentury ‘ monastic city ’ at Glendalough , County Wicklow . Or head to the famous Powerscourt House and Gardens half an hour away to enjoy invigorating walks among some of the most majestic vistas in Ireland against the backdrop of the great Sugarloaf Mountain . Or why not head to Phoenix Park to look for the local reindeer who reside there – just make sure not to feed them !
