Explore the Ardglass of yesteryear. From the Irish for Green Height, Ardglass is one of the oldest towns in Ireland. After the Norman conquest the harbour became an important centre on the coast. Six castles, one visited by King John, are testament to the former glory of the town. After falling to ruin in the 1600s the town was forgotten. That is until an interesting man and the first eccentric, namely William Ogilvie, took it upon himself to rebuild it.

Discover the plan laid out by him in his splendid Georgian revival. Listen to the stories of the eccentrics of note who called his town their home. They include Major Aubrey William Beauclerk, Thomas Hunter, Francis Joseph Bigger, and Duane's own cousin Joe Gilmore.
This walk is brought to life with the diary of Duane's great-great-great-grandfather who lived in Ardglass in the 1820s. This remarkable book includes stories of intrigue, murder, disaster, and remarkable occasions.
