The Path (in Carrigaholt)
In Planning
This project envisages the creation of a tranquil, garden-like space on the green-area in the centre of Carrigaholt overlooking the harbour and pier.
The centrepiece of The Path would be small shale-plates engraved with the name of former and present residents of the area which would be displayed on the concrete foundation on which the park bench sits. The plates can be ordered by contacting (more info) at a price of (more info) and would be installed in cooperation with the CDA and the Clare County Council.
An additional bench would benefit the place and decorative flowerpots and plants would be placed around the concrete area to create the impression of a secluded “quiet space” without obstructing the view over the harbour area.
In the longer term The Path would be extended along the shoreline with purpose-built walls to house additional plates and would link with other projects of the Carrigaholt Rejuvenation Vision (Project 52).
Project Justification & Objectives
The Path would add a unique community space to the village and honour and celebrate former and present residents in an unobtrusive and respectful way. The space would also catch the interest of visitors and would so play an important role to highlight the history, heritage and community spirit of the village and wider area.
