Hedge maze with sundial
The hedge maze with sundial is a distinctive feature of Iveagh Gardens, comprising carefully maintained hedges surrounding an antique sundial at its centre. Unlike traditional mazes, the hedges are notably low, making it accessible and enjoyable for visitors of all ages. It's worth visiting to see this well-preserved example of Victorian garden design, offering a pleasant diversion amongst the broader attractions of the gardens.
Artificial Waterfall
The artificial waterfall stands out as one of the most striking ornamental features in Iveagh Gardens, nestled within this Victorian landscape design. The cascade is particularly impressive during the summer months, when the flow of water creates a picturesque focal point for visitors. It forms part of a carefully planned garden composition that rewards exploration on foot.
Victorian Rose Garden
The Victorian rose garden is one of the most distinctive ornamental features of Iveagh Gardens, bringing colour and fragrance to the park. Part of the original design conceived by Ninian Niven in 1865, it remains a living testament to the landscaping style of the period. What to see here includes the carefully maintained rose beds that showcase the horticultural character of this Dublin landmark.
Grotto
