Mount Usher Gardens

Mount Usher Gardens in Ashord, Co Wicklow is a quick spin down the motorway from Dublin.  It is a lovely place to visit and have a wander around.  You can pop into the Avoca Garden Cafe for a snack/lunch and do a bit of shopping in the Shopping Courtyard. Entrance to the gardens for an adult costs €7.50; children (4-16) costs €3.50 and children under 4 are free.
