Whatever you want a place to take a walk or sit and read a book or even have a chat with a friend, you should pay a visit to Blessington Street Basin. The park links two neighborhoods; its entrance is at Blessington Street, Dublin 1 or North Circular Road, Dublin 7.
“It’s like being in Narnia, I came from North Circular and suddenly I’m here seeing all these beautiful birds in this lovely park”, said a person by referring to the book the Chronicles of Narnia.
And I certainly agree with him; it is like crossing a portal to another place, so peaceful.
You will be surprised with the beauty of the swans and birds swimming all around the little lake, while the sun can help you to take some nice photos.
The opening hours varies depending on the month of the year, during the summer it will be opened until 11pm, while in winter time it closes at 4:30pm.
