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

Ashtown Castle nearby is worth a visit.

The cache container is small so BYOP and in disguise.
