The Mote Park Lion

Much like the 'two vast and trunkless legs of stone' in Ozymandias, the Mote Park lion hasn't quite turned out the way his creator expected. Local historian, John Kerrigan, knows the estate like the back of his hand and with his canny mix of good humour and insight, he takes us around the old Crofton estate recreating a world that has long gone, but remains a significant chapter from our past.John's audio is just part of the plethora of material recorded around Roscommon Town that will feature in Ireland's most colourful and original travel app. Coming soon - why not try it out over the Bank Holiday weekend when the Roscommon Lamb Festival is on? http://www.gleesonstownhouse.com/Roscommon, Mote Park, Big House, Gleeson's Townhouse and Restaurant, navigatour, John Kerrigan
