We expected to have private access to a garden after six,
based on information on
the Demesne's website.
We did not expect that we would have private access to a wonderland of
parkland, formal and informal gardens, greenhouses, and four centuries' worth of
technological, engineering, and botanical history sprawling across an area
equivalent to the original Disneyland's acreage. What a stunning, delightful
surpassing of our expectations we found on our arrival.
This is one of the footbridges connecting the Demesne's Inis Dara
("Island of the Oaks") to the "mainland".
