The whole trip lasted about 1hour and 10 minutes and was well received by all who took part. It began and ended in Kildare Town Heritage Centre and the feedback from the group will no doubt help to identify the needs and difficulties facing such a project.

Thanks are due to Mary Stones the manager of the Heritage Centre for all her hard work and to Adrian Mullowney for his commentary as well as Kildare Tourism Task Force - a laudable new initiative for the Town.
