The Gi Trail Northern Ireland

The GI Trail, a Heritage Lottery Funded project aims to map out all the sites at which the American GIs were based in N Ireland during The Second World War

The HLF funded GI Trail aims to map out the sites and locations at which the American GIs were based in Northern Ireland during the Second World War; it will research, develop, interpret, protect and promote these sites. The project will link in all the groups, local guides, visitor attractions and built heritage relating to that time.

The GI Trail will create 3 separate heritage-tourism trails covering Armagh & Down, Antrim & Londonderry and Fermanagh & Tyrone. Each trail will document the sites and the stories, exploring the legacy the GIs left here in Northern Ireland. There will also be an interactive website with more detailed information to accommodate the Second World War enthusiasts - www. gitrailni.com
