Famine Way App: February 2022:

Now that, it is technically Spring, why not download our latest tourism/leisure app to help you make the most of Ireland’s National Famine Way.

The National Famine Way is a 165km self-guided Trail detailing the ill-fated journey of 1,490 famine emigrants who walked from Strokestown Park to ships in Dublin in 1847, at the height of the Irish Famine.

The trail begins at Strokestown House in Roscommon  and ends on the quays in IFSC Dublin 1.

According to https://nationalfamineway.ie/, ‘with its captivating layers of history and culture, the Trail will give you a truly immersive experience’ and the app we developed builds on that with audio, video, mapping and GPS features all in sync with the map as you make your way along the tour.

The app has the following features:
