Funnily enough, on Tuesday, rushing to get to my volunteer work, I saw the logo of same, on a piece of street furniture. The photo I took didn’t come out well, but thanks for giving the reason i saw it. I tried to figure out that walk last summer, but it defeated me, from accommodation point of view. Instead I walked down along the River Barrow.The Irish Heritage Trust and Strokestown Park house are launching the National Famine Way walking trail with a six-day 167 km walk from Strokestown to Dublin from May 25th to May 30th 2019. The route follows the Royal canal from the Shannon river to Dublin.
This is to remember the 1490 people who walked from Strokestown to embark on emigrant ships in Dublin in May 1847. A large number of these people died either on the ships from Liverpool or on arrival in the fever sheds at Grosse Isle in Quebec.
The National Famine Way is a digitally and physically waymarked 167km walking trail that connects the National Famine Museum in Strokestown Park, Co. Roscommon, with Rowan Gillespie’s Famine memorial on Custom House Quay in Dublin along the banks of the Royal Canal. It allows walkers to follow in the footsteps of the 1,490 tenants who were forced to emigrate from Strokestown to Canada on some of the worst of the coffin ships during the summer of 1847.

The route is beautiful, through the fields, bogs and woods of Ireland. In today's world, with 58.5 million forcibly displaced people, it's important to remember and honour these victims.

Hi Gerry, this is very interesting, thank you. Is there any information to be found on the first section from Strokestown to Clondra - is it mapped or waymarked or on/off-road? I did a google but couldn't see anything. I might actually be able to join in on the 25th. |
May 30th, Thursday,. would love to be there at the famine Statues. Too bad the cycle path is not yet finished, but if at all possible I will be there if any idea of time is produced...The Irish Heritage Trust and Strokestown Park house are launching the National Famine Way walking trail with a six-day 167 km walk from Strokestown to Dublin from May 25th to May 30th 2019.

Thank you .It's on road and waymarked but, as I've not done it yet I can't say exactly where it is.
My best guess is https://www.google.ie/maps/dir/Stro...175a0!2m2!1d-7.9043919!2d53.7311034!3e2?hl=en
This has about 3km on the N5, which is not terribly busy, and all the rest on very quiet country roads.
Wonderful to honour these poor souls! Thanks for drawing people's attention to it!
