Pretty oasis in city centre |
Grafton Street Dublin +353 (0)1 475 7816 /+353 (0)1 605 7700 (Tourist info) http://www.visitdublin.com/visual/detail.asp?ID=1744 |
Dublin's most famous park is steeped in history. It started life as common ground, not far from a lepers' hospital, and was eventually enclosed in 1664. The site of public hangings throughout the 18th century, it was not until Lord Ardilaun's patronage in 1880 that the park took on the landscaped form that we see now. Memorials are dotted around the flower beds, trees and willow-fringed duck pond. James Joyce, Oscar Wilde and W.B. Yeats are just some of the famous names commemorated, while the Three Fates smugly measure the thread of humanity's destiny from their fountain at Leeson Street Gate. Free concerts are held on summer days in the bandstand. Review © 2009, Wcities |
