The Walks Project, Loughrea

  • Abbey Street, Loughrea, Co.Galway, H62 YV70 (map)

Tour of ongoing works at the complex site of The Walks in Loughrea. 18 bridges span the water course which follows the line of the medieval defenses, leading to burgage plots lining the main street of the town. In 1796 a cruciform promenade was laid out alongside which has been a place of recreation and contemplation for the residents of Loughrea for over two hundred years. Diverse groups and owners in the town have come together to fund the conservation works which protect the brown trout habitat in the watercourse, its historic masonry fabric, and sylvan setting.
