Milltown heritage guide shows the hidden gems of a hidden gem

MILLTOWN is one of the hidden gems of Ireland, and it too has its share of smaller gems, many of which are new even to the natives.
Now there is no excuse for everyone in the village not to be an expert on their own place. The key to all this knowledge is the local guide to the area’s natural, built and cultural heritage which has just been published.
The handsome booklet with its upright format will fit as easily in a jacket pocket as on the shelf in the kitchen where everything of importance is kept.
That was the message from the launch of the booklet on Sunday morning, when the best of the village’s food producers, craft workers and community organisations lined the hall in the community centre.
