The Village Interpretative Panel Project is managed by the Wicklow Uplands Council and panels produced in 2012 in Tinahely and Enniskerry were funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. The project provides a wonderful opportunity to find out about the rich history and breathtaking landscape that surrounds our local towns.
We are privileged to be the current caretakers of our towns and villages and these interpretative panels are a unique contribution that we can make to visitors and to future generations.
Each panel consists of an artist's visualisation of your village. This is surrounded by 15 - 18 items of interest in your local landscape.
These can be historic buildings which tell the story of your community's involvement in aspects of Irish history, archaelogical remnants from our ancient ancestors in Celtic, pre Christian and early Christian Wicklow and former residents. This is combined with the profound contribution that our breathtaking Wicklow landscape gives to all who live and visit our towns and villages. By taking part in these panels your community will be surprised by what you will learn about where you live and produce a wonderful addition to your local built heritage.
