Botanic Gardens - Belfast - Northern Ireland Video
Gardens, gardens, and more gardens; that's what Northern Ireland could offer its people as well as those who are coming to visit it for a change - that's of course in addition to those cultural buildings and places which are usually placed on the top of the list for the things and places that one should visit in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The Botanic Gardens in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a public park that occupies 28 acres of South Belfast which is considered a good destination for tourists because it is close enough to the Ulster Museum which is located at the main entrance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQb4Gn3XWcI), and is also considered a place for office workers and students because the Queen's University is nearby as well.
There is a history behind these gardens which is now for the public; the Botanic Gardens used to be a private place back when it was first originated and it was only opened for members of the public on Sundays prior to 1895 and after that when it was bought by Belfast Corporation, it was then open to the public who could enjoy a walk through it anytime during the week.
There are different features of this park that might make it different than the other ones in Belfast and might even make it special for some people, these things include the Palm House Conservatory which is considered the most notable feature of the park. Belfast's Palm House is one of the earliest examples of glasshouses that is made from curved iron and glass and which was built by Sir Charles Lanyon who also built parts of the Queen's University. This Palm House that is located inside the Botanic Gardens consists of two wings: the cool wing and the tropical wing, which are considered important when it comes to this place and one reason why lots of people tend to have a look at it. The Palm House actually contains a wide range of tropical plants, hanging baskets, seasonal displays and birds of paradise.
In addition to this important feature in the Botanic Gardens, there are also other things to be mentioned, such as the other glasshouse which is found there, called Tropical Ravine House which was built by the head gardener Charles McKimm. There is a sunken ravine that runs the length of the building with a balcony at each side for viewing. The most popular attraction is the Dombeya, which flowers every February. The Tropical Ravine contains some of the oldest seed plants around today, as well as banana, cinnamon, bromeliad and orchid plants. Both the Palm House and the Tropical Ravine showed how technology helped the gardeners to cultivate unusual species in the greenhouse environment.
There were different concerts and music festivals which were held in the Botanic Gardens before and thus it is not only about walking through those green spaces and enjoying the nice weather or giving the kids the chance to play, but you could also check whether there is any event which is going to be held there during your visit to Belfast - or in general if you are living there already.
Being one of Belfast's important Victorian Heritage, the Botanic Gardens is definitely a place that one should cross by - even while resting in between all those old buildings and museums which one will be visiting - to enjoy the old glasshouse built and at the same time enjoy this green space which will be surrounding you.
When it comes to the gardens then there are a lot of them in Northern Ireland and Ireland, and every single one of them is different than the other and might be even carrying a different history behind it. We have been to several ones to discover what they have to offer; in addition to the nice walks which every one offers, there are some which are different when it comes to the things they offer, like the playground area for the kids for example, which does not exist in all of them.
From those parks and gardens which we have been to before in Northern Ireland and Ireland and which we enjoyed to a great extent, we have been to the most popular park in Belfast which is known as Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park and which is an old place as well (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myJgb13QOYQ), we have been to the Hazelbank Park in Newtownabbey, County Antrim, which is considered part of Belfast and thus easy for people to go to and visit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RmxgvB_bLw), we have also been to the Valley Park which is also located in Newtownabbey and is close to the Hazelbank Park - but it might end up being a boring experience to visit both on the same day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGKdU8ge7NA), and of course we have visited the Tollymore Forest Park which is considered one of our favorite and one which we will definitely recommend to lots of people (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2HsWSVLzGI), as well as many other beautiful parks and gardens in this country.

The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
