Dunshaughlin Poetry Trail!

 Dunshaughlin Poetry Trail!

Meant to give this a mention much earlier. The poetry trail is a project organized by a Dunshaughlin community group as part of the 'Keeping Well Initiative' and still a day or two left of it maybe. It began on the 29th of April and  runs for a three week period when the posters will be taken down and presented to the Library Service where they will go on display in any of the branches large enough to accommodate them The spirit of the poetry trail is similar to that of a treasure hunt where you discover the items as you explore the trail.

The trail runs from the RC church at one end of the village to the James Fox memorial at the other end and there are 38 poems in all with smaller sizes in shop windows of various establishments on both sides of the main street. Larger outdoor posters are located in prominent positions along the route. You need a little time on your hands but it should be an enjoyable experience. Indeed a poetry trail for the county or other towns - not a bad idea! With thanks to Barbara Scally of the Dunshaughlin Library for the above information.
