Gort Famine History Tour

This short tour takes you past the ancient walls and ruins of the Gort Workhouse and along a narrow laneway to where the partially-refurbished Fever Hospital stands. Although weathered, these incredible landmarks are a chilling reminder of the suffering endured by the people of Gort due to The Great Famine. The dilapidated Workhouse now serves as a storage unit, while the Fever hospital has been revamped as a showroom for the stonework of a local creator.
