The structures in the Wild Nephin National Park will be made available to visitors, who will be able rest or stay overnight in the buildings.Overseen by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the structures offer hikers, photographers or leisure travellers a place to shelter.
The McCanns homeplace has been restored by a team of locals, who have painstakingly recreated a cottage on the exact footprint of the original building. Denis Strong, Divisional Manager with the NPWS, said they offer visitors a chance to experience life as it was for our ancestors, in the middle of an area of striking natural beauty.
