Carton House grounds in Walking Festival

The Tuesday walk in the Kildare Walking Festival programme is through the Carton House parklands, writes Brian Byrne.

It's an area with which the Diary is very familiar, and is well worth the hour or so with a guide that is on offer at 7.30 this Tuesday evening. The free event will provide a full background to the land and its wonderful specimen trees, as well as the Tyrconnell Tower.

The meeting point is in the hotel Reception, and the guide will be Breda, who can be contacted at 087 9630719.
