We will be given a guided talk of the park’s biodiversity from the OPW within the walled garden, at the park visitor centre. Followed by complimentary lunch in the amazing Phoenix Café, where you can enjoy sumptuous, sustainable food in their stunning outdoor setting, while getting to know your fellow cyclists.We will finish our tour by returning to Phoenix Park Cycles, which is at the south entrance of the park, only a short walk to Heuston train station, the Red Luas line, many bus stops or a walk/cycle to the city centre.
