The Suck river meanders ponderously as it makes it way down towards the Shannon. To the left is Galway and to the right is Roscommon. It's a valley that is renowned to fisherman across Europe, but it has some interesting historical facts associated with it. Did you know the finest ancient treasure in Ireland was made here, that this was destined to be the training hub for law and order or that Ireland’s greatest orator gave his last speech in these parts? Beyond this, there are tales regarding saints from St. Ciaran to St. Coman, of dastardly landlords and inventive publicans and of the serpentine-like river itself giving the trail its subtitle of the serpent, saints and sinners tour.
The good, the bad and the ugly has all passed through this area and we aim to tell you some of the more colourful stories from over the centuries in the hands of Eamonn Gleeson and a man who can both see and maybe even raise Eamonn on the talking stakes in the form of Fuerty farmer, Charlie Clarke. Join us on a journey that has scenery that is both haunting and ethereal in the hands of two great Roscommon raconteurs. Please note we would ask you to pull over and savour the full audio of the lads talking loquaciously at five pull-over locations along the way: - 1. Athleague 2. Castlestrange, 3. Fuerty 4. Castlecoote 5. Donamon Castle
