Oulart Hill Development

Oulart Hill Development is a long- established group of volunteers committed to the preservation, maintenance and development of the historic sites around

Oulart Hill and to the enhancement of the Walking Trails centred around the Hill and the Village, as well keeping alive the history of the local area.

The area with its trails and monuments is an educational and recreational resource that is widely used, admired and appreciated by locals and visitors from near and far.

The immense value and importance of the area looked after by Oulart Hill Development was realised during the recent Covid-19 lockdowns when the Jean Kennedy Smith and Cosan na Gloire Walks, in particular, provided a safe and secluded area where people could exercise in a socially-distanced way and at the same time enjoy the panoramic views, absorb the natural beauty of the countryside and reflect on the bravery and patriotism of the men and women of 1798 and 1916 who are commemorated there, in stone.

The members of Oulart Hill Development are all volunteers and the Group has no regular or official source of funding. We rely on the good-will, co-operation and generosity of family and friends to maintain the area to an acceptable standard, which is an ongoing struggle.  Constant use and bad weather, as well as lack of suitable equipment has resulted in deterioration of pathways and grassy areas, with Cosan na Gloire ( walkway from carpark to Tulach a' tSolais) most in need of repair. 

Through the years we have achieved much and we know that we have much more to do, so that you, the public can continue to enjoy what Oulart Hill and its environs, have to offer. 

We appeal to everyone who appreciates the unique treasure that is Oulart Hill to respond generously to our Go Fund Me and we assure you that every cent will be well spent and accounted for. 

Organised on behalf of the Committee by Breda Jacob, Bridget Mythen (joint treasurers) and Brian O' Cleirigh (secretary)
