With a pair of weekend engagements booked for Dublin's Croke Park last weekend and this, country music phenomenon Garth Brooks and country singer Trisha Yearwood have a few days to spare - and seem set on seeing some of the sights during their downtime.

The Office of Public Works shared that they'd helped oversee a visit from the American superstars to the Glendalough Valley in Co Wicklow, stating the stars' affinity for Ireland's heritage sites.
