<strong>County</strong> <strong>Kildare</strong> <strong>Walking</strong> <strong>Routes</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
Curragh’s unique archaeological heritage 3 and recreational access could be<br />
enhanced in the public eye through increased collaboration with the Heritage<br />
Council.<br />
k) As a first step in the development and promotion of walks in <strong>Kildare</strong>, <strong>Kildare</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
Council could enter into discussions with the <strong>Kildare</strong> Sports Partnership to expand<br />
the Slí na Sláinte walk leader training to include an appreciation of natural and built<br />
heritage along their local route. The leaders could include heritage appreciation in<br />
their training schedule with new walkers. This initiative would be particularly effective<br />
where KELT has already supported the publication of heritage walk maps. It could be<br />
a pilot project to test the effectiveness of the new walking task force and the ability of<br />
interested stakeholders to work together with direction from the heritage officer of<br />
<strong>Kildare</strong> <strong>County</strong> Council.<br />
