These gardens are one of the most famous memorial gardens in Europe and are dedicated to the memory of 49,400 Irish soldiers who died in the 1914-1918 war.
The names of all these soldiers are contained in the beautifully illustrated Harry Clarke manuscripts in the granite book rooms in the gardens. These gardens are not only a place of remembrance but are also of great architectural interest and beauty.
They are one of four gardens in this country designed by the famous architect Sir Edwin Lutyens (1869-1944), the others being Heywood Gardens, Lambay Island and Howth Castle.
