Bird's eye view of the old Royal Hotel site soon to be the new Norman Gardens.

The design of the new public park is influenced by the design of Norman Gardens and celebrate the lives of William Marshall and Isabel de Clare.

The park will also integrate with the fabric of New Ross as a tourist attraction. It will provide views over the River Barrow towards the Dunbrody replica Ship and the new €6m plus Norman visitor centre at the Murphy and Bank buildings on the quay.

This project seeks to create new connections through the site, connecting the North Quay to High Hill and Church Street, as well as re-imagining the historical route between Bridge Street and the Irishtown and the Bulllawn.

Exciting times ahead. :)
