PLACES THAT WE ARE GOING TO VISIT IN DUBLIN

The Book of Kells

The Book Of Kells is an Illuminated manuscrpt that has survived from the Middle Ages and has been described as the zenith of Western calligraphy and illumination. It contains the four Gospels of the bible in Latin, along with prefatory and explanatory matter decorated with numerous colourful illustrations and illuminations. Today it is on permanent display at the Trinity College Library in Dublin, Ireland, and is the most famous medieval book still extant. This is something to talked about and I sure I will remember for the rest of my lifes.

The Powerscourt

The gardens at Powerscourt were laid out in two main periods. When the house was rebuilt in the decade after 1731, the surrounding grounds were also remodelled. The design reflected the desire to create a garden which was part of the wider landscape. To the north formal tree plantations framed the vista from the house, while a walled garden, fish pond, cascades, grottos and terraces lay to the south.

Powerscourt waterfall

A short distance from the Powerscourt House and gardens is the Powerscourt waterfall. This is the highest waterfall in Ireland, I can’t wait to be there they said it wouldn't be surprised to hear the waterfall looks better when it rains, when there is more water to fall.
