The Farm villages , Fishing Traditions
and Landscape of the lower Suir valley in South County Kilkenny.
The March outing took us to Co. Kilkenny, where we walked around the farm villages with local historian, Joe Sullivan, stopping to hear more about the history, seeing the banks people walked on, heard about traditional fishing on the Suir, the geography of the area and river. This area has the highest concentration of thatched houses in Leinster and retained many traditions into the last century.
