McGahern Trail
Group
Interpretative trail for John McGahern fans with a number of interpretative centres along the way. Between Mohill Fenagh Ballinamore and Aughawillan, the area where he grew up and lived for many years, that inspired a lot of his writing. It could be in conjunction with the development of a greenway based along the old Cavan Leitrim railway which stretches along this route.
Tourists are coming to the area to find out where he lived and what inspired him - at the moment we don't offer anything cohesive to that tourist... there are significant opportunities here for these communities....
