Roscommmon Walks Booklet was circulated this week. The book was developed as part of the Healthy Roscommon Plan 2018-2021. The book identifies 16 short and 2 long distance walks in Co Roscommon. Kilteevan Tidy Towns expressed delighted that the recently developed and award winning Cloonlarge Loop was selected as one of the walks in the book (Walk 12 p. 28).
The first Roscommon Healthy Walk was held February 9th 2019 on The Cloonlarge Loop in Kilteevan. Despite Storm Eric the previous day a large crowd, ranging in age from 6- 90 turned up. All agreed waking is definitely good for our physical and mental wellbeing. Locals hightlighted the benefits of the "extra" fresh air in walking through boglands.
Feedback from walkers about the Cloonlarge was very positive . First time visitors were very impressed with all aspects of the trail.
Kilteevan Tidy Towns would like to congratulate Roscommon Co. Council on the production of the excellent Roscommon Walks booklet.
