Newbridge House is renowned as one of Ireland’s most intact and best preserved examples of a Georgian mansion, nestled in the heart of Donabate, county Dublin, on a working farm. The house offers an enchanting blend of history, nature, and family friendly activities.
Built in 1747, Newbridge House stands as a testament to Ireland’s rich architectural and cultural history. Once the ancestral home of the Cobbe family, the house is filled with period furnishings, exquisite artwork, and an original Cabinet of Curiosities – one of the few remaining in Europe. Visitors can step back in time through expertly guided tours that bring centuries of history to life.
Newbridge Farm is a true delight for all ages, featuring a traditional working farm with rare breeds of livestock, open pastures, and interactive experiences. Whether you’re visiting the friendly pigs, cattle, sheep, or majestic Shire horses, the farm provides the unique opportunity to connect with Ireland’s agricultural heritage.
Families can also enjoy our adventure playground, scenic walking trails, and picnic areas, making it an ideal day out in nature. Set within 370 acres of unspoilt parklands, Newbridge Demesne is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll through the ancient woodlands, spot wildlife in their natural wildlife, or simply relax in the tranquil surroundings. The estate is a designated biodiversity area, ensuring the preservation of its rich flora and fauna.
While visiting, why not enjoy a delicious meal or snack in Brambles Café, serving a wide variety of delicious hot and cold food including sandwiches, wraps, pastries, chowder, chicken wings, and a full Irish breakfast.
