Since the idea of developing hiking trails at the 12 O’Clock Hills was first proposed, many dedicated individuals have worked tirelessly to bring it to fruition. Chief among them is the voluntary group that initiated the project, planning and constructing the walking trails. Their remarkable efforts extended to fundraising, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who contributed financially to make this vision a reality.We must also acknowledge the invaluable support of our local County Councillors. In particular, Joe Cooney has been instrumental, helping us ensure Clare County Council planning permissions were secured from the very beginning of the project in 2012 right through to the present day. For his unwavering commitment, we kindly ask you to consider giving him your number 1 vote this Friday, 29th November, in the General Election.Additionally, we would like to recognise two other individuals who have supported us in important ways. Cathal Crowe, who visited our facility some years ago, assisted us in securing a Community Employment Scheme to maintain and repair the trails. Donna McGettigan Shannon has also been a tremendous help, facilitating the cost-effective provision of trail signage through LCM Signs and working alongside the Shannon Trekkers hiking group to transport heavy furniture to challenging uphill locations.Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the success of the 12 O’Clock Hills project. Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated. … See MoreSee Less

Trails Wagon.

This can be arranged by making a call to Patsy @ 087 969 1415We do have a few bob in the kitty to cover the cost. … See MoreSee Less
