Newbridge House and Farm at Donabate Dublin

beautiful Georgian estate

What Is It?

Welcome to Newbridge House and Farm, one of Dublin’s most treasured heritage attractions, nestled in the heart of Donabate, County Dublin.

As a beautifully preserved Georgian estate with a working farm, Newbridge House offers an enchanting blend of history, nature, and family-friendly activities.

A Legacy of History and Heritage

Newbridge House, a magnificent Georgian mansion built in 1747, stands as a testament to Ireland’s rich architectural and cultural history. The house, once the ancestral home of the Cobbe family, 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.

A Living, Breathing Farm Experience

Newbridge Farm is a delight for all ages, featuring a traditional working farm with rare breeds of livestock, open pastures, and interactive experiences. Whether you're visiting our friendly pigs, sheep, cattle, or majestic Shire horses, the farm provides a 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.
