Walk from Schull's harbour and Main Street up to Holy Trinity Church and the old graveyard where the parish buried well over a thousand of its people during the Great Famine, guided by the story of a rector who worked himself to death trying to save them. The trail finishes at the Republic of Ireland's only planetarium, a reminder that this small sailing town has always kept one eye on the sky as well as the sea. Looking for things to do in Schull?
