Autumn League #4: Fota House and Gardens TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH Event Info

The final event in the Cork Orienteering Club Autumn League will take place on Tuesday September 16th at Fota House and Gardens.This beautiful parkland terrain provides an ideal location to conclude our Autumn League. Fota's arboretum and gardens are internationally recognised and have the finest collections of rare and tender trees and shrubs grown outdoors in Ireland and Britain and I'm sure their autumnal colours will provide a stunning backdrop for Tuesday's orienteering event.
