Place & story
A company for community services
The Knockmore Rathduff Economic and Social Development Company was established in 2001. It operates the Recreation and Resource Centre in Knockmore village. Its own account describes a place bringing together a playschool, meals, meeting and office facilities, recreation and voluntary groups. These activities gave the community an organisation through which to share facilities and develop projects beyond the village’s established church and sporting life. [2]
Planning a connection to Pontoon
In 2019 a feasibility study examined a walking trail from Knockmore village to Healy’s Hotel in Pontoon. The resource centre hosted its launch on 29 November. The community organisation’s account also records a video made in 2022 with local resident Oisin Corcoran to explain residents’ hopes for the route. These records document the development and promotion of a proposal; they do not establish that the full lakeshore trail was built. [3]
