Over the coming weeks the Diary will publish a little more information about each of the stops on the Trail, so we can all get to know our wonderful village a little better.
I can't wait to read about all the sites and then on my next trip to spend much more time in the village. Please add the marble orchards (Carrek a Temple and ??St Patricks? - on my first trip last march I discoved I was related to Josephine Fowley and she so kindly drove me to the 3 that we might see our common ancestors - Travers.

Hi Jim. I had to "google" to find out what marble orchards are! You live and learn. I'll see if I can find some information for you.
