Built vernacular heritage tour Heritage Week
JCWL GeoEnterprise supports establishment of a UNESCO Global Geopark in south Co Mayo and north Connemara. This event is a tour and talk about our built and other vernacular heritage in three communities in south County Mayo, namely The Neale, Ballinrobe and Partry which have unique vernacular buildings and other tangible heritage from our past.
We will film the talks as they take place at points of interest on the tour, guided by local people with expertise on the architecturally significant constructs in their villages. There’s plenty of scope for Q&A and local engagement. The resultant short video will be available for sharing widely.
