Ross Caughers Photography: August 2012

What with European Heritage Open Days (EHOD) fast approaching in Northern Ireland. I have decided to make a quick blog about it and of course with photos of some properties taking part at the bottom of this blog. You can also see more photos from Northern Ireland at Ross Caughers Photography

EHOD runs over the 8th and 9th of September with over 300 properties taking part. Many of these properties across Northern Ireland will be opening for free as part of EHOD

Organised by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) this celebration is designed to encourage people of all ages to discover Northern Ireland’s rich and diverse architecture and heritage.

EHOD takes place every September in 49 countries across Europe. Last year over 56,500 people in Northern Ireland visited properties, many of which are closed to the public throughout the rest of the year.

So if you like taking photographs of heritage sites, monuments, castles and building in Northern Ireland this is a great event to get to some locations, some of which do not open all year round and get some photos.

I took part in EHOD last year and visited a local property that is not open except for EHOD.

So if you are in Northern Ireland over the 8th and 9th of September why not visit a property taking part this year. You can find more information on EHOD at Discover Northern Ireland
