Enniscorthy is building a pleasant reputation for improvements to its riverside walking trails further advancing its recreational facilities.
A new amenity point has now been completed along The Banks, on the northern section of the Slaney Riverside Trail at Blackstoops.
Enniscorthy Municipal District’s outdoor staff have completed stonework and planting at Watty’s Well, adding character and visual appeal to the riverside setting.
The route also features the well-known Brooklyn bench, which has cultural significance as the setting for a key reflective scene involving Eilis Lacey in Brooklyn, the film adaptation of Enniscorthy author Colm Tóibín’s best-selling novel.
Together, Watty’s Well and the Brooklyn bench form a distinctive rest point along the trail.
These additions support ongoing efforts to improve public amenities, encourage outdoor activity, and enhance the overall attractiveness of the River Slaney riverside trail.
