RTÉ Laois star Claire Byrne back home for new Tracks and Trails series
Mountrath native took a walk in scenic Slieve Bloom mountains
Laois locals were delighted recently to see RTÉ star broadcaster Claire Byrne in their midst, along with a television crew.
The Mountrath native is going to feature in a new series of the television show Tracks and Trails.
"Thanks to Sheila from Rosenallis Co. Laois page for getting some great photos of Tracks and Trails recording with Claire Byrne the many beautiful walks that start at Glenbarrow Trailhead! Will air on RTE1 next March," they said.
Season 12 of Tracks and Trails will be presented by Doireann Ní Ghlacáin who will be joined by a guest in each episode.
In this Laois focused episode, RTÉ Broadcaster and Laois native Claire Byrne walked with Doireann in the shadow of the Slieve Bloom Mountains and explored the Old Mill Loop.
Highlights included exploring the banks of the River Barrow and Clamp Hole Waterfall to the story of the Lost Village and stunning panoramic views of Laois, Offaly and beyond.
The show is expected to air on television in early 2025.
