Known for
The barrack blocks of Dempsey Hill at the edge of the botanic garden.
Old barracks for dinner
Dempsey
Dempsey Hill
Dempsey Road, Harding Road
Former barracks by the botanic garden: low blocks, trees, tables for the evening. This is dinner, not a morning walk on the river.
Why go
Come for dinner. By day the quarter is empty. The garden next door opens in the morning.
Where to stay
No reason to sleep here: the river and Chinatown are a ride. Come for the evening and go back.

The entrance is off Dempsey Road. The garden starts just over the hill, and that is a different walk.
