Heritage Trail
leaflet, audio guide & Story Map
Heritage Trail: there are three elements to this free resource.
Heritage Trail leaflet: see a fuller description of this below and download a copy of the self-guided trail leaflet and map, with nine stops round the area of Bantry Bay where Ellen lived and botanised here. Designed to be used driving between the stops, it can also be used for a virtual tour of the area, from the comfort of your own sofa.
Audio Guide: for a richer experience (either round Bantry Bay or on your sofa) you can also download the free audio guide to the trail here. This expands on the information contained in the leaflet and brings Ellen’s story to life through actors narrating her story and reading extracts from her letters and the journal of a botanist who visited her. The audio guide was produced by Abarta Heritage.
Interactive Story Map: this is the third element of the package, and shows the locations in the leaflet and provides links to each audio file. The story map is available here.
Hard copies of the free leaflet are available in Bantry Library, Bantry Tourist Office and other local outlets round the Bantry area.
