Tom Dunn Trail

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, as part of their PEACE IV Shared Spaces and Services programme, have developed an Educational Toolkit in the form of a Tom Dunn Walkway app which commemorates Tom Dunn and complements the associated Tom Dunn Artwork and Hedge School Project. The location of the walkway is in Rostrevor a Village in Newry, Mourne and Down.
Tom Dunn was the local Hedge School Master in Rostrevor, through his work with the Protestant and Catholic communities he is locally known as the 'Peasant Patriot'. This App for the shared walkway provides the Educational Toolkit element of the project developing an educational shared space and complements the Tom Dunn Artwork and Hedgeschool Summer school, focusing on the good community relations work of Tom Dunn who helped local people move towards a more integrated, cohesive and shared society.
This app celebrates the history of Tom Dunn in the local area and will be used by the schools and churches for shared learning projects along with locals and visitors to the area.
