Duck Tales: Unfortunately it's time to say goodbye to this one which I hope brought lots of fun to all who visited over the years. But never fear, an upgrade has popped up in its place so hopefully the next set of visitors has as much fun.

Geocache Description:

There are two great things to see here, firstly the archway from the original town walls that still stand and driven through on the slightly smaller modes of transport which was used way back when

 

The difficulty rating is a 3 as this is a highly muggled area


 

The North Gate, or ‘the Arch’. It has stood here at the junction with the Tuam road for over 400 years. A fortified town has fortified gates and Athenry had at least five others dating from around the early 1300s, when the walls first existed. Passing through The Arch along North Gate Street towards the town centre, observe what once were typical two-storey houses, now with commercial frontages and the taller masonry 19th-century elevation. Turn left into the Market Square, which is at the heart of Athenry

 

 

Secondly is the ‘Kebab’ this was sculpted by the Artist John Langan with the assistants of Children of Carnaun National School the official name of the sculpture is ‘A Monument to Small Things’ although most know it as the kebab. Take a bit time and see if you can find the Gameboy in it

 

Note: Tweezers may be of some use here
