Deep within the walls of the Powerscourt estate, along woodland trails that are strictly private, you can combine fitness and tree-gazing this autumn, should you book in for a break at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel just outside Enniskerry, Co Wicklow.
In addition to the sparkly spa, the new river walk will keep you fit, and comes with pre-packed picnic baskets and options for children, too. The estate has one of the finest deciduous plantations in the land - perfect for autumn colour. See special deals on www.ritzcarlton.com.
