WEXFORD, A Walk Through Time, part ii (full episode Tracks & Trails)

So far travel writer Pól has seen early Irish and Viking settlements, Norman towers and now he gets to the three rocks trail which takes him to two important 1798 sites.
He meets Michael Brazzill, who helped establish these trails and whose knowledge of 1798 history in this area helps Pól to imagine exactly what took place along the trail.
Much of this walk has been along roads and bohreens, before getting on an off-road trail to Carrigfoyle Lake, after a pitstop here, he takes a short linking section of road before turning onto the off road again towards Drooping Rock and Forth Mountain where he meets Deirdre O’Flynn. Deirdre practices mindfulness and shows Pól the practice of mindful walking. Into the last stages of the walk now, he follows a gentle uphill slope towards Skeater rock to finish his walk on a high point of Forth Mountain with views across Wexford.

My Wexford ancestor William Johnson and son Lawrence showed up in Bear Cove Nova Scotia shortly after the rebellion with a chunk of money to buy land including for Andrew Scallian also from Wexford. I've tracked the Scallians to the Ballysheen cottages behind the Lobster Pot. I have got 23 years of genealogy research but still I suspect the rebels escape muddied the research. Just discovered this series and loving it.
