For the final stop on day one of a two-day tour of Northern Ireland, Prince Charles visited Slieve Gullion Forest Park in County Armagh. During the engagement, the Prince took the time to learn how the park operates to reduce erosion on traditional stonework. He also learned how local trade is supported by buying sheeps’ wool to create fleeces to underlay the footpaths.Embed from Getty Images
The Prince was told during his visit,
“It never rains in south Armagh.” After flying in by helicopter, Charles was treated to a musical performance by a group of children from The Ring of Gullion Traditional Arts Partnership, which is a community arts association that focuses on traditional music and song.
