Inch Field Sculpture Trail

As we walked along the River Suir to begin the trek to our next destination, we came upon a big expanse of lush green space. A nearby sign identified the area as Inch Field.

Following the lilting sounds of a violin, we went over to check out the park where locals were taking advantage of the beautiful day ... playing ball, picnicking, or simply sitting around and chatting. As for the violin player? He was serenading a collection of dolls and puppets!

One of the highlights of Inch Field is a trail along which one can find sculptures carved out of trees. Turns out that when some of the trees were damaged during a storm a few years ago, it was decided that they should live on in the form of carvings.

I didn’t get many photos of the sculptures because people were sitting around the more interesting ones and I didn’t want to intrude. But there was a bonus for detouring into the park ... the best view of Cahir Castle!Read more
