Castlerock Walks
There is a man in Castlerock who walks everywhere, and that鈥檚 because he thinks that that鈥檚 the best way to get to know a place. And he has certainly proved his point, he knows his adopted place very well, from the C.S. Lewis connection to the Neolithic history and even the bio-diversity! We chat to Colum听Mc Closkey about his guided tours of Castlerock.听
There are three different guided tours," C.S. Lewis & Castlerock", "Heritage and Development of Castlerock" and "Biodiversity in Castlerock".
