We take a look at some things to do in and near Swords over the next week or so.

Wander in Ward River Valley Park

As the days get longer, a lovely spot to explore in Swords is the Ward River Valley Park, a linear park covering 200 acres. It runs between Swords centre and Knocksedan Bridge. Apart from being a great place for a riverside walk, it is also home to Swords Castle, an impressive medieval structure. Check out Swords Castle for visitor information.

Ward River Valley Park has some nice viewing points, picnic areas and sports pitches, so it's a perfect place for a family day out. It's signposted from the centre of Swords, so easy to access too.

Take in a Trad Session

This holiday weekend Swords will be brimming with fun in the run up to St. Patrick's Day and you can get into the festive mood by taking in a traditional Irish music session. The Cock Tavern at 31 Main Street Swords, will be hosting musicians for a trad session from 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, which looks like a nice way to round off your Sunday evening. Check out the Cock Tavern on Facebook for more information on this and other live music which will be happening every night from Wednesday 13th until St. Patrick's Day.

Just a few things to do in Swords over the coming week.
