Our Centre tells the story of Knockaloe Internment Camp, the many thousands of people for whom it was home between 1914 and 1919 and marks the start of your walk around Knockaloe.
The Main Drive walk takes you from the Centre in Patrick Old School, up through Knockaloe Moar, past the Garden of Barbed Wire and towards the coastal path. At any point you can retrace your steps back towards the Visitor Cetnre and then into Patrick Churchyard.
