If you have then you know what we’re talking about…if not then this is the perfect opportunity to visit and sink into all it has to offer. “Russborough sits in the heart of the panoramic West Wicklow landscape. Built in the mid-1700s to display the great art assembled by the 1st Earl of Milltown, it later became home to the world-famous Beit Collection. Its classical design, perfect scale, architectural detail, and exquisite decoration marks this Palladian jewel as the most beautiful Georgian house in Ireland. With a wonderful backdrop to the architectural perfection of the house, the 200 acre estate at Russborough takes full advantage of spectacular views to the Blessington lakes and the Wicklow Mountains beyond” see russborough.ie for more info about this national treasure.
