A 10km fundraising walk in support of the St Declan's Way Steering Committee is taking place on Saturday, July 16th.

The walk will begin at St. Declan's National School in Ardmore and continue as a loop including the beach, cliff walk, Ardmore village, and its hinterland.

The walk will provide you with the opportunity to take in Ardmore's heritage and history, with volunteer marshalls guiding the walk and pointing out local sites of interest.

To participate, you must book your place via Eventbrite and register beforehand at the school.
