The Phoenix Park in Dublin is the largest enclosed park in Europe. There are several walks throughout the park where you can go bird watching. The Furry Glen is a good area as it is a mix of parkland and woodland with a large pond. There is a carpark at the following Sat Nav co-ordinates: 53.355473, -6.348675 .
