This bespoke Frances Brown Walking Tour of Stranorlar will give you a chance to walk in the footsteps of “The Blind Poetess of Ulster”. We will walk along the same street where she was born and streets she traversed during her formative years, in a landscape that inspired, influenced and enhanced her later works. The tour will start at Kee's Hotel and take in sights such as The Pound Historical Park where Frances is commemorated with a substantial bronze statue and an inscription from “Songs of Our Land”. The tour will finish with a visit to the final resting place of her parents and siblings in the nearby Church of Ireland Graveyard.

Kathleen Phelan is a Bord Fáilte Qualified Regional Tour Guide.  The walk will be approximately 90 minutes.

Please dress appropriately for outdoor walking tour.
