Carrick walking trail starts at the Tourist Office at the bridge in the town, writes Martin Branagan.
The trail covers 31 sites along the main streets of Carrick on Shannon.
The focus of the trail is to peer through the lens of history, taking in distinctive landmarks and historic events all placed within the context of the people who lived there.
Carrick on Shannon is full of architectural delights and surprises. Walk around the town and you will come across old stone buildings that have been imaginatively restores; a neglected church renovated, an elegant parish hall modernised, an intriguing piece of historic street furniture repaired or other fascinating remnants of the past.
