Guided nature walk of Ross Island Mining Trail

Our Guide and Biodiversity Officer for the site, Conal Guilfoyle, will be hosting two free guided walks of Ross Island. The walks will explore the human history of the area going as far back as the Bronze Age copper mines. He will highlight and discuss the various habitats and species present along the way. This is an outdoor event which will involve walking along uneven terrain so appropriate footwear and clothing are a must. The meeting point will be the yew tree in Ross Castle Courtyard.

This is a free event, offered as part of the Heritage Week programme. Spaces are limited so we advise anyone interested to mail us to register their interest. There may be also be places available on the day
