The Irish National War Memorial Gardens, located in Islandbridge, are a stunning tribute to the 49,400 Irish soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. Designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, the gardens are a blend of serene beauty and solemn remembrance. Key features include the sunken rose gardens, herbaceous borders, and extensive tree-lined avenues, which create a tranquil atmosphere ideal for reflection. The site also houses granite bookrooms containing illustrated Harry Clarke manuscripts, listing the names of the fallen soldiers.

Visitors can enjoy guided tours that highlight the architectural and horticultural elements, such as the Ginchy Cross room, the Museum room, and the central dome-shaped temple. The gardens are wheelchair accessible, making them a welcoming place for all to appreciate both the natural beauty and historical significance.
