A key element of the audio trail will be the inclusion of local stories and perspectives. During his visit, Mr. Winckworth will be recording interviews with interested community members, with the aim of weaving their unique narratives and historical accounts into the final audio experience. The project team encourages anyone with stories, memories, or knowledge of Clonegal's heritage to participate.
