They've got it all knitted up here...
Airfield was the brainchild of its previous owners the Overend family who wanted it to be an educational and recreational resource. It's now undergone a complete makeover under The Airfield Trust to the tune of €10m and it's completely amazing!

I wouldn't mind writing my blog at this desk! Look at that view!

We began by visiting the main house which is beautifully restored and has a small interactive exhibition about the Overend family. Behind the house we had a look at the collection of vintage cars. Curiously the two Overend daughters, Letitia and Naomi, went on special training courses with Rolls Royce in London to learn how to maintain their cars.

We continued our visit passed the kitchen gardens down to the working farm where we saw the cute little calves, super cute goats and too cute to be true piglets! It was a major awwwh moment! We tore ourselves away though and continued walking passed the pond and through oak woodlands back to the entrance and the Overend Cafe.
Did someone say cute? Look at these little guys, all lined up like... eh... rashers on a pan...

Airfield is a really beautiful and amazing place; it's hard to believe there's an actual working farm only a few stops from the city center on the Luas! There is something for everyone here, it was really heart warming to see children, parents and grandparents out enjoying a day together and everyone was entertained. Airfield is definitely a special place.
