An urban park next to Queens University. Established in 1828, the flower-filled Botanic Gardens are Belfast’s loveliest green space. The 28-acre (11-hectare) public park centres on the Charles Lanyon–designed mid–19th-century Palm House, a magnificent cast-iron and glass construction with a birdcage dome.
