Not that I know of. There is a strip of all different types of them in the Botanics which was nice when I was there last Sunday but nothing on the scale of this.

I passed a (what looks like) daffodil farm on Sunday at Gormanstown. It's just off the M1 on the way to Drogheda, take the exit for Drogheda South (I think). It's the exit that has the City North Hotel, you should see it when you come down the hill just a few miles after Balbriggan

Yes there is one there. Take exit 7 of the M1 northbound. Just before the Applegreen garage on the left is the daffodil field.

Yeah seen loads of workers out picking them though.

Yeah, saw them on Saturday.
You would have to be quick though, they were disappearing fast.

Forget about the daffodil fields, is there anywhere around I can get a shot like that in picture 13?

There are quite a few old estates around the country where daffodils are naturalised.

I know them girls, they pick daffodils in Rush:) I see them every morning as I drive by, I wish:P
There are a good few Daffodil fields in North Dublin. Rush Bulb farm are huge growers. They have a massive field in Rogerstown which is in Rush. As you approach Rush from Lusk go about half mile past Railway station and take right turn at bottom of hill onto Spout Rd. Go to the end of this road and turn right you will see the fields about 500 yds down on your right hand side. There is also plenty of wildlife and a few cute daffodil pickers:cool:
Be careful in the fields.If you go when the tide is just turning you will see plenty of birds,(with feathers) feeding on the estuary.
