Discover Your Trail in Wicklow
Throughout the course of the Wicklow Trails Heritage Recording Project we were privileged to work in this incredible landscape. The scenery and the words of Thomas Moore inspired us to make this short video. I hope you enjoy it.
******************************
We had a great time on Saturday at the Our Wicklow Heritage seminar. There was some really interesting presentations and discussions on themes like exploring creative ways of communicating heritage information, and community based actions for interpreting and promoting our towns, villages and places of interest, and we presented the results of the Wicklow Trails Heritage Recording Project with Wicklow County Council and Wicklow Uplands Council.
Such a beautiful autumnal morning here in Clonmel, Tipperary 🍂🍃
Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way; A Guide to its Historic Treasures
Explore the Historic Treasures of the Wild Atlantic Way with this new guidebook by Neil Jackman, published by The Collins Press. Discover over 100 remarkable sites to find the story behind the spectacular scenery!
Boasting ancient tombs, atmospheric castles and sacred retreats, the Wild Atlantic Way is absolutely packed with treasures to discover. With 100 of Neil Jackman’s favourite sites from Kinsale in West Cork to Malin Head in County Donegal, this guidebook will help you to embark upon a true explorer’s odyssey! You will discover the stories behind the stunning scenery. See 350+ million year old footprints on Valentia Island, experience the idyllic Connemara retreat of revolutionary Patrick Pearse, and get off the beaten track as you climb up to an ancient fortress atop a Kerry mountain.
You will find all the iconic sites like the Cliffs of Moher, Gallarus Oratory, Bantry House and Dún Aonghasa, alongside hidden gems such as Dunlough Castle, Fallmore Church and the Doonfeeny Standing Stone. It will help you to discover the delicate natural heritage of Ireland’s western coast at Connemara National Park and Ballycroy National Park, and we will even voyage to the wonderful islands of Ireland, like Clare Island, Inishmurray, Inishbofin, Scattery Island and of course the iconic Skellig Michael.
The sites are numbered from north–south, beginning with Site 1: Kinsale, and ending at Site 100: Malin Head. Counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Clare, Galway, Sligo and Donegal are all featured.

Rathfarnham Castle
We visited Rathfarnham Castle this afternoon. A really fascinating place and there is a wonderful exhibition by artist Hester Heuff on at the moment. We highly recommend a visit!
Unfortunately the clouds blocked the sun but it was still special to spend the Winter Solstice at the ancient passage tomb at Knockroe, as the original community may have done over 5,000 years ago (only with lovely mince pies & mulled punch courtesy of Lingaun Valley Tourism) 😊
