''Musings for tourists''

'The People's Garden's': These are lovely gardens full of very nice shrubbery, trees and flower beds. It’s unusual in that they part of a huge green belt of nature’s wonder, the Phoenix Park - largest enclosed park in Europe. The Gardens are a very pleasing outlet to take a leisurely walk or stroll in. But the name of them, say’s it all - gardens for the people - and that is their calling card! They also have the notable distinction, of being the place where Ireland’s fine balladeer and poet, Thomas Davis, sat under an Elm tree for inspiration; and where he helped co found the famous Nationalist newspaper 'The Nation’. If you go to the Phoenix Park, make sure and pay the gardens, a visit.
