Moneymore Heritage Trail
This is a short trail through the village of Moneymore which explains the wonderful rich heritage and culture of this beautiful conservation area. Having been a settlement for over 400 years, Moneymore's hsitoric past can still be seen in a range of important architectural buildings which hide behind the busy village of today.
The young at heart can discover the trail and do some simple brass rubbings. If you ask at the Manor House Reception or Springhill House you can get some paper and some wax crayons. Take these on your trail and look for the brass insert on every intrepretation plaque - located beside each building numbered on the map. See if you can use the rubbings to spell 'Moneymore', you may have to search for the correct letters. The trail should last approximatley one and a half hours and is suitable for everyone. So go on have a go!
