Newbridge House and Farm

Newbridge House and Farm is tucked away on 365 acres of green parkland in Donabate, north county Dublin. Over 300 years old, the Georgian mansion is full of secrets and stories which our dedicated tour guides are waiting to share with your class. This traditional working farm is full of surprises from new born animals in spring to farm machinery of olden days. The award winning courtyard is an example of Victorian living and the working forge is an exciting place to see.

Visit the hatchery and see the chicks as they hatch, or go to the pond and see our ducks and swans as they splash around in their home. Our farm has almost every traditional breed of Irish horse and you can see them in the paddocks as they enjoy their day.

The traditional farm is home to pigs, goats, ducks, horses, donkeys, chicks ,and of course birds and peacocks. Newbridge Farm is a working farm promoting compassionate farming methods, respect for all animals and sustainable biodiversity. These are important lessons which we are excited to share with our young visitors through the brand new interpretive area

Your school tour is self-guided and will take in all aspects of the farm. Enjoy a picnic in the walled garden. In the park and nearby playground there’s plenty of room to run around, enjoy a picnic lunch and burn off some energy with outdoor activities.
