Pippa rediscovers the beauty of South coast

MODEL Pippa O’Connor is urging Southsiders to rediscover the beauty of the south coast with Dublin Bus Tours.

Although the Dublin and Wicklow coastlines offer striking scenery and attractions they can, at times, be overlooked by their own residents. The Dublin Bus South Coast Tour offers locals, and visitors, the opportunity to discover the beauty that Dublin and Wicklow have to offer and to explore its history and culture.

The tour travels along the coast, taking in Dublin Bay, Dún Laoghaire Harbour, the James Joyce Tower at Sandycove, Powerscourt House and Gardens, Bray and the Wicklow Mountains. You can also learn about their history along the way from experienced, Fáilte Ireland approved, tour guides.

The Powerscourt House and Gardens are an ideal location for a quick getaway to relax and, with 47 acres of beautiful gardens, Avoca Café and Store and Tara’s Palace, it offers entertainment for all the family.

The tour offers great value for money and is perfect for those wanting to do something a little different with their weekend. The tour operates daily at 10.30am from the city centre and tickets cost

?¬24 for adults. This entitles customers to free admission into Powerscourt House and Gardens which is usually

?¬8.50.

Dublin Bus is also continuing its Kids Go Free offer on the Hop on Hop off and South Coast Tours. Two children under 14-years-of-age can travel on the tours free of charge with a fare-paying adult.

Tickets for all Dublin Bus Tours can be purchased online at www.dublinsightseeing.ie, from Dublin Bus Head Office at 59 Upper O’Connell Street or by tel 01-7033028 from 9am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday and Saturday from 9am to 2pm and on Sunday 9.30am – 2pm.
