Well-hidden Gothic gardens |
Clonmell Street between Harcourt Street and Earlsfort Terrace Dublin + 353 1 475 7816 http://www.visitdublin.com/seeanddo/ParksAndGardens/Detail.aspx?id=248&mid=1323 |
Developed as part of the Iveagh Estate in the 18th century, these gardens are still one of Dublin's best kept secrets, so well-tucked away that they remain quiet and tranquil even in the height of summer. The grounds were laid out at a time when all things Gothic were the height of fashion, so prepare to be slightly spooked by the park's dark, ivy-clad corners, eerie statues and winsome grotto. The gardens are currently under restoration and a Victorian rosarium has been recently rebuilt. Review © 2009, Wcities |
