What a great place to escape to! We went for a couple of walks here and we astonished at the size, as well as the things to see, not least the deer! So convenient for having a city break with some countryside.

Phoenix Park is the largest enclosed urban garden in Europe and sits just on the periphery of Dublin. The People's Gargen is worth a look as it has some lovely flower beds and the obelisk to the Duke of Wellington is the most famous landmark in the park. The Park was initially designed for hunting purposes and you can still find deer grazing in the grounds.

Making the most of the glorious sunshine, my boyfriend and I packed a picnic and spent the afternoon wondering around St Stephen's Green, and oasis of green in Dublin City centre. Within the park there are various walking paths, a lake with ducks and statues/monuments scattered throughout.

with the impressive title of europe's largest urban green space, we decided to take the family off the sightseeing circuit and get some air for the day (well, it rained that day but we did it the next!). We were lucky enough to spot deer which was really exciting for the kids and i loved the wetlands and the ornamental lakes. would definitely recommend taking a picnic and making a day of it with a frisbee thrown in too.
