2008 Coolagown Wins Tidy Towns Gold Medal

Excerpt from adjudicators report:

All individual homes are part of the orchestra of colour and care that blooms and blossoms around Coolagown. The new estates add their personality to the village interest. It is obvious that the existing dwellers welcome the new comers by giving them their own estate names stones and both Cill an Óir and the Paddocks bring variety and colour to their neighbourhoods. Hopefully these new dwellers will need shops and services which will bring further variety to the village. A drive out the Long Road was well worthwhile as the residences were resplendent.

What a great experience to drive into a village where design and treatment, where imagination and hard work act as a brake while the eager eye attempts to take in all that is happening in this quiet haven. There is so much of what village life should be.
