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.

The Farm
Newbridge is renowned for its commitment to high standards of animal welfare and preservation of rare breeds of animals, which have nearly disappeared due to intensive methods of farming. See a working farm whose animals are reared in an environment where they can move about freely and behave naturally. 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.
