This month we head into South Kilkenny for a walking exploration of the wildlife and heritage of the Tullahaught/ Killmacoliver area just north of Piltown.
Sunday April 10  is the day and 2.30 pm the start time from the Car Park at Tullahaught Church.  The walk will be approximately 5 kms and with stops and talks will take about 2 hours.  Afterwards, the local community group will provide a welcome and refreshments in the community hall just across from the Car Park.
Walk leader is Fons Jaspers and he will be assisted by local historians and naturalists.  The route  which leads us to a stone circle is on tarred road, lane (which is inclined to be muddy after  heavy rain) and open field.
Directions:  From Waterford take the road to Carrick on Suir branching off  for Piltown.  At Piltown turn right at Anthony’s pub and follow north for about a mile  turning off  left for Owning.    Go through Owning and turn right uphill.  At top of hill   turn left to Tullahaught.   At a T junction at the bottom of the hill turn left into the village of Tullahaught and to the Church Car Park.  Mark it in your diary – Sunday April 10, 2.30 pm.   Ray@ 051-382629
