Avonmore Way Walk
The Avonmore Way is a new 12km trail which will provide a strategic off road link with Rathdrum and Laragh to promote independent access to Laragh Grows Fruity Last weekend some members of Laragh Glendalough Community Garden group planted apple and plum trees in the village with the helpful hand of some residents. The trees will benefit the environment, the community who will eat from them and enhance the village with their beauty each year. Funding was acquired from Wicklow County Council thanks to the efforts of the gardening group. New members are always welcome, join their facebook page or call Finian McEvoy on 086 2476822 or Declan Murphy on 0861697739.
