There will be a range of activities including a guided 90 minute walk suitable for children with the Fairy Avenue and Maze, bicycle rides and, of course, a picnic.<\/p>\n<p>A longer walk for adults will include the Sculpture Park, wetland areas and the Mesolithic site where some of the oldest traces of human habitation in Ireland have been found.<\/p>\n<p>New members and new walks are always welcome.
