Kingdom of Mourne - Characteristics

"A patchwork of improved and semi-improved grazing in medium sized square fields divided by robust stone walls of glacial granite boulders.

Numerous scattered small scale individual houses and farms along dense network of narrow roads, often aligned perpendicular to the slopes.

Scattered trees and yellow gorse along field boundaries and patchy woodland in valleys.

Coniferous plantation on hillslopes."

Raglan Road, Autumn Day

Raglan Road on an Autumn Day

"On Raglan Road on an autumn day I met her first and knew

That her dark hair would weave a snare that I might one day rue;

I saw the danger, yet I walked along the enchanted way,

And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf at the dawning of the day."

'On Raglan Road' written by Patrick Kavanagh

Glendalough Round Tower

(County Wicklow)

Glendalough round tower is approximately 30 metres high. Originally built as a bell-tower (belfry), it had six timber floors connected by ladders.

"A tall, round tower (at Glendalough) rises above the trees at the lakeside, one of those towers peculiar to Ireland, and built nearly 1,000 years ago as a belfry and refuge from the Danes. The doors are high up in these towers, so that refugees could pull up the ladder after them, and feel secure from attack."

Meeting of the Waters, Wicklow

Meeting of the Waters, Wicklow

The Meeting of the Waters, immortalised in verse by Ireland's national poet Thomas Moore, is situated in the beautiful Vale of Avoca in County Wicklow

'The Meeting of the Waters'
Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

THERE is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;
Oh! the last rays of feeling and life must depart,
Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart.

Yet it was not that nature had shed o’er the scene
Her purest of crystal and brightest of green;
’Twas not her soft magic of streamlet or hill,
Oh! no—it was something more exquisite still.

’Twas that friends, the beloved of my bosom, were near,
Who made every dear scene of enchantment more dear,
And who felt how the best charms of nature improve,
When we see them reflected from looks that we love.

Sweet vale of Avoca! how calm could I rest
In thy bosom of shade, with the friends I love best,
Where the storms that we feel in this cold world should cease,
And our hearts, like thy waters, be mingled in peace.

Dream Ireland

Dream Ireland

'Dream Ireland', for many emigrants, signifies memories of the road home. The road in this photograph leads to legendary Slieve Gullion in County Armagh, but it could just as well be the road to anyone's home in any part of the island of Ireland.

This road has witnessed love and romance, poverty and pain, sorrow and laughter. It has borne the hoof prints of pigs and sheep, cattle and horses; and the tracks of cartwheels, bicycles, tractors and cars. It has enchanted in daylight and haunted in the hours of darkness. It has shivered in winter and basked in the summer sun. It has featured in the dreams and inhabited the memories of generations. It is the road to the wide world and, in the fullness of time, it is the road home.

An old picture that was displayed on the walls of many homes in Ireland in the 1950s bore the following lines that took seconds to say but a lifetime to learn:

"Many strange roads we love to roam,
But the best is the road that takes us home."
