Seamus Heaney OpenGround

Immerse yourself in the places that inspired the Nobel Prize-winning poet.

Open Ground is a series of 5 locations, all of which held a significance for Seamus Heaney.

Exploring each one reveals the links between these places, so much a part of Seamus Heaney’s formative years, and their influence on the rich legacy of his literature.

Along each route and in each location, interpretation panels tell you more about the places you’re visiting, while this App enhances the experience by bringing you the voice of the poet reading his own work, and augmented reality brings to life some of the sights and sounds associated with each location.
