You’ll leave Dublin and follow a trail where myth and reality collide in great battles, ancient sites, and epic tales. Passing the lush green countryside of the Boyne Valley, your journey continues towards the ancient border of the Ulster province, the mountainous Cooley Peninsula. Winding through small back roads, you’ll find a magnificent example of a Portal Dolmen. This megalithic tomb is a delicate balance of large stone boulders each weighing many tons and supporting a massive capstone. Legend has it that a giant carried the 35-ton capstone all the way from Scotland! On the northern side of the peninsula, you’ll come to the beautiful town of Carlingford. Home to a wealth of medieval structures including the imposing 12th Century King John’s Castle whose panoramic views overlook oyster rich Carlingford Lough.

  • Ennis Cathedral

    Ennis Cathedral

    Ennis Cathedral: The Building & Its People. Saturday 29th. August 2009 Presented by the Clare Roots Society Clare Roots Society The Clare Roots Society, brainchild of Ennisman Larry Brennan, was formed in April 2006 as an amateur family history group. The Society meets once a month in Ennis, and has approx. 50 members. Anyone with an interest in tracing their family tree is welcome to join. Some members are experienced genealogists while others are novices in the field. In addition to local members, we have some 'virtual' members who live overseas, but who follow our activities via email, and dream that they are in Clare. Activities are advertised in local press and in the Ennis Cathedral church bulletin. Under the Chairmanship of Declan Barron and his committee of Fiona de Buitleir, Eric Shaw, Larry Brennan & Paddy Waldron, guest speakers were arranged at past meetings including Paul O’Donnell of the South Galway genealogy group, Peter Beirne of 'The Manse' Local Studies library in Ennis, Jim Herlihy on the RIC, Liam Curran on Irish Soldiers in the British Army, Jonny Dillon of the Folklore Dept., UCD, and Dr. Pat Nugent of the University of Liverpool amongst others. From our own members, speakers have included Dr. Paddy Waldron, Gerry Kennedy, Ger Madden, Declan Barron, Eric Shaw, Robert Cullen, and Larry Brennan. In addition, we have run a number of hands-on computer workshops on genealogical research and the recording of data. The society works in partnership with Clare County Library in order to add to the wonderful fund of genealogy information already available on their website www.clarelibrary.ie Our biggest project to date, completed in 2008 with the assistance of a grant from the Heritage Council of Ireland, involved transcription of the gravestones in the old Drumcliffe Cemetery.

  • Geology at the Gobbins Cliff Path

    Geology at the Gobbins Cliff Path

    Geology at The Gobbins Cliff Path The Gobbins Cliff Path was supported by Mid & East Antrim Borough Council and the European Regional Development Fund in Partnership with Sliabh Liag. PAGE 2 THE GOBBINS - A DRAMATIC COASTAL WALK Introduction Stretching from City of Derry Airport in County Londonderry, to Carrickfergus in County Antrim, the Causeway Coast and Glens area includes some of the most geologically diverse landscapes on Earth. This short guide to the geology of The Gobbins Cliff Path demonstrates why The Gobbins quite rightly takes its seat amongst three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (Binevenagh, Causeway Coast and Antrim Coast and Glens) and Northern Ireland’s only World Heritage Site (the Giant’s Causeway and Causeway Coast) to provide a world class experience for those interested in the natural and cultural heritage of the Causeway Coast and Glens Area. Sixty years after it closed in 1954, visitors to the newly reopened Gobbins Cliff Path at Islandmagee, can once again walk on the edge of a landscape sculpted by millions of years of geological activity, weathering and erosion. The rich geology and biodiversity along Islandmagee’s coastline combine with coastal processes at the Gobbins to present a landscape of exceptional scientific, aesthetic, historical and cultural value. During your visit to the Gobbins we hope this guide helps explain some of the rock formations and features through which the coastal path winds. We also hope this guide helps explain how the geology of the Gobbins links with the geology of sites in the Causeway Coast and Glens area and partner sites across the globe.
