Towards Doneraile

Some of the participants of the Towards Occupation Group recent trip to Doneraile House and Doneraile Park. The group had a magnificent tour of the Doneraile House and Gardens and enjoyed a refreshing cup of tea and scones in the onsite café.

Afterwards they had a tour of St Marys Church in Doneraile. The spire of which famously gives its name to the term ‘Steeplechase’. The group got to see the original bell that dates to 1636 that originally called locals to worship. Six local bellringers gave a wonderful display of musical talent as the bells chimed throughout the visit.
