Hello my Lovelies,

Happy Tuesday to you all!! I hope you are all having a lovely day so far. Its my Birthday today but i'm having a bit of quiet celebration as i have some really nice plans for the weekend, i did however get some really nice gifts which i will be sharing with you all later on in the week!!

Moving on to today's post and for today's one i'm going to be sharing with you all my visit to the wonderful Powerscourt in County Wicklow. Me and some of girls decided to have a bit of day out lat Wednesday so we decided to have a look around the beautiful gardens of Powerscourt. As you can all probably imagine i took quite a few photography's which i will be sharing with you all throughout this post!!

I honestly can't remember the last time i visited Powerscourt, I think i first went their when i was young....really young, So it was really nice to go back again and explore the beautiful Powerscourt again.  The day in which we decided to go visit Powerscourt was a lovely Sunny Autumn Day, on arrival me and the girls decided to grab a hot chocolate from the Avoca Cafe while walking around the beautiful gardens as it was a little cold.

We started off are tour in the Italian Garden which offers the really best of garden landscaping and design....you can even see Sugar Loaf Mountain from beyond the gardens which is defiantly one of the best views in Ireland!!

Next we moved on to Triton Lake, on the way down to the lake we were greeted by the beautiful Sliver Winged horses. Also the fountain in which is located in this lake is based on the fountain in Piazza Barberini in Rome Italy. On are walk around the Lake we were also greeting by two very friendly ducks.

We then walked around the Japanses Gardens which was beautiful, we really did get to see some amazing landscapes and designs as well as the sight of Azaleas, Japanese Maples and the Chinese Fortune Palms.

We also got to see the Grotto which is one of the oldest features of Powerscourt Gardens.

We also checked out Tower Valley where we found the Pepper Pot Tower. Along this route you can see many trees along with their different forms, powerful trunks and intriguing textures.

 There is a variety of different trees to look at and along the route some tree's have been planted by some iconic stars one of which is an Icon of mine, Princess Grace of Monaco who made a visit to Powerscourt in 1978.

We also took a look a the Pet Cemetery which is one of Ireland's Largest Pet Cemeteries as this is the resting place of many of the family's pets.

Then from their we decided to take a stroll along Rhododendron Walk.

 We then took a look at the Walled Gardens which are one of the oldest parts of the gardens and features some vibrant flowers and plants. We also found 'Julia's Memorial ' a really calm and reflecting pond which was built in honor of the 7th Viscount's Mother.

 

We then finished off our walk along the Dolphin's Pond which was bought by 7th Viscount in Paris in the late 19th Century, it is surrounded by some amazing trees including a line of Japaneses Red Cedars.

After finishing up our tour of the Gardens it was then time to stroll around some of the shops in which Powerscourt have to offer including Avoca and the Garden Pavilion.

There was quite a wide selection of different things such as Homewear, Clothing and Jewellery. There was also some really cute Christmas Decorations and Christmas Gifts as well.
