Co. Wicklow, Irl.

So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round:
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Extract from Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
What I liked here was the contrast between the trees outside the walls of Powerscourt and those within,nature untamed and nature tamed.
