Newbridge House:
Situated in North County Dublin, the fine Georgian house is set in a 360 acre demesne, which is one of Fingal's Regional Parks.
Built by Archbishop Cobbe between 1747 and 1752 to the design of the renowned architect, James Gibbs. Newbridge is extremely rare in that it still contains most of it's original furniture thanks to the generosity of the Cobbe family. It offers many surprises. These include the magnificant Red Drawing Room (one of the finest Georgian interiors in Ireland), the Museum of Curiosities (one of the few family museums in Ireland or Britian) and the ornate plasterwork found throughout the house.
