Everything is in a fine state. The garden is easily accessible and totally free of cost. You can walk through the garden or even cycle around.\n\nLets go through some quick facts about the garden:\n\n1. The Iveagh Gardens is a public park located in Dublin, Ireland.\n 2. It was opened to the public in 1865, making it the oldest public park in the city. \n3. The gardens are named after Edward Guinness, 1st Earl of Iveagh, who purchased the land in 1864 and gifted it to the city of Dublin. \n4. The garden is home to a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowers, including a large magnolia tree. \n5. It also features a number of sculptures and monuments, including the Iveagh Memorial Fountain, a statue of the goddess Diana, and a memorial to the poet Thomas Moore. \n6.

Many of the original landscape features remain or have been restored and preserved since 1995. \n\nThe historic elements in the garden include yew maze, rosarium, and fountains. In the summer, the cascade is especially beautiful. Iveagh Gardens are popularly known as Dublin's 'Secret Garden'.\n\nUnlike other green spaces in Dublin, the gardens are almost completely surrounded by buildings, making them less visible and more difficult to find. As a result, they are one of Dublin's best-kept secrets.\n\nThis tranquil and beautiful oasis, just a short distance from the city centre, can rightfully to be claimed as the capital's best-kept secret.\n\nThis place was suggested to me by a local vendor. Many people do not have any idea about the existence of this place and the history it holds.
