Pomeroy Forest Trails vs Le Pole Trail

Produced on behalf of Mid Ulster District Council, the Pomeroy Forest app brings you on a magical journey through woodlands near the village of Pomeroy in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. The app includes two trails for children – the Renardine Nursery Trail and the Renardine Fairytale Trail, while the Grace Drennan Eco Trail is about the ecological significance of Pomeroy Forest. Each trail is divided into a series of stops that follow walking routes within the forest, where giant wooden sculptures surprise visitors along the way. These depict characters and scenes from well- known children’s fairytales, like Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretal. In addition, local myths and legends associated with Pomeroy and the surrounding area also feature at some of the stops. Each trail stop includes a multiple-choice quiz question, so you can test your knowledge and check how many rewards you‘ve earned on your journey.

The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin is located within an area rich in history and archaeological discoveries. Le Pole Trail brings you on a journey through the history of Dublin, from its beginnings as a Viking settlement to when this quarter of the city teemed with tenement life in the late nineteenth century. In 1981 Le Pole Square was the site of one of Dublin’s largest archaeological excavations, uncovering a wealth of artefacts that help to paint a picture of the city’s earliest years. Examples of these can be seen inside the hotel today. As part of this experience you will meet a host of colourful characters typical of different periods in Le Pole Square’s history – a brave Viking, a quintessential Dublin policeman, or a homesick Italian mother. Using latest trends in mobile technology this trail lets you recreate what this quarter of Dublin would have looked like at various stages in its history. A combination of AR, 3D simulations and bespoke video, bring the story of Le Pole Square to life. Make more of your visit to the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin, by reliving the history of the city.
