HERITAGE WEEK



You may have noticed posters heralding the onset of ‘Heritage Week’. This annual international week is set aside to highlight all aspects of our heritage. As the ‘Kenry Historical Society’ is interested in historical heritage, naturally their events are on that theme. The week begins on August 22 and the first local history tour is on Sunday August 23rd at 3.00 in the Coillte Carpark, Curragh Chase, Coillte generously offering free entry at the barrier from 2.30pm. The theme of the walking tour is ‘The Hidden Curragh Chase’, the aim of which is to uncover aspects of the area related to those who toiled behind the scenes and to point out areas withing the estate which are not normally on the tourist trail. Guides on the day have had family connections with the De Vere family as workers on the estate. Michael Costello is the coordinator. He already has printed a compilation of photographs of this area and his knowledge is drawn from his intimate association with the area. Reserve a place in your diary also for the ‘Ringmoylan Walk’ on the following Sunday,August 30th again at 3.00, when Derek Cahill will lead the tour.


COMMUNITY COUNCIL
