Geocache Description:

Dublin’s Phoenix Park is a treasure with more than 1700 acres
of walled parkland just 3km from the centre of the city.

At 707 hectares (1752 acres) is one of the largest enclosed
recreational spaces within any European capital city.


There are some thirty-eight lodges with living accommodation
situated within Phoenix Park and no two dwellings are of the same
design.


The wall is itself designated as a protected structure and
stretches the entire way around the present-day park. It is eleven
kilometres long and three metres high. The wall also supports its
own particular flora.

The park is open all year round, there is no admission charge and
visitors can explore freely.


Bus Route(s): No's 10, 25, 37, 38, 39, 66, 67 from city

Each of the vehicular gates into Phoenix Park has a
gatekeeper’s lodge as part of the entrance cluster.
