Iveagh gardens is although well known, probably the least visited by Dublin people themselves as it situated snugly between rows of tall georgian houses very close to St. Stephens Green. Yet this only enhances its appeal. A very old park, initially a private garden, Iveagh Gardens is famous for its sense of mystery. Long tall hedgrows and sudden hills and valleys of grass make it a curious place to visit, feeling so far removed from the hurried Dublin city that lies on its doorstep rather transporting its visitor to the privacy and intimacy of the Dublin centuries ago.
