The Alzheimer’s Society said the aim was to “walk together to remember those living with dementia, their carers and families”.

The scenic five-km route through the forest was the seventh year of the Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk, which is a fundraiser and a celebration of connection, compassion, and community.

Close to 3,000 walkers took part in a walk last year and raised over €240,000 to help fund services provided by the Alzheimer’s Society.
