Lucky Day Touring Around Lough Key

Peter and Muttwee at St. Laisser's Holy Well outside Ballyfarnon.

The water is soooo cold in the well and its a lovely spot, the grave of Turlough O'Carolan the last Irish bard is in the graveyard across the road.

Definitely coming back to this well, love it.

A Crannog in Lough Meelagh a few miles up from the well, the crannog is an artificial island people actually lived on, some islands had people living on them until the 17th century.

Peter and Muttwee at Knockranny Court Tomb in the lovely forestry beside Lough Meelagh.

Court Tombs were built around 2500 to 3500 b.c. wow!

Just look at it there set in the middle of that lovely forest.

We had a lovely day out just touring around the far side of Lough Key for a change.

The whole area looks fascinating. I've never been to Ireland, but it certainly looks enticing!

It really is a great part of Ireland for sight seeing and history, been here 4 years and still finding more and more even within 20 miles of the house. Thanks for visiting the blog and leaving a comment. I really do enjoy your blog very much :) If you are ever planning coming over to Ireland, give me a shout
