Coolakay Agricultural Heritage Centre

Located just outside the quaint village of Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, Coolakay Heritage Centre is encouraging visitors to make a day of it this summer! Immerse yourself in farm life past and present with a visit to the museum where you can see everything from a pony and trap, Deutz and Ferguson Tractors to milk churns.  Some of the tractors on display have earned owner/historian Robert Roe awards in shows for best restored tractors.  The hand-threshing mill on display is one of only 3 in Ireland and dates back to the mid 1800s. Robert offers guided tours for 8 people or more on request, giving guests real life stories of the items on display.

 

During your visit why not take a stroll around the farm walking trail offering stunning views of Powerscourt Waterfall and the Wicklow Mountains. So, if you have been stuck inside and longing for a taste of the countryside now is the time to book your visit to Coolakay House & Agricultural Heritage Centre!
