Killeagh           and             Inch

 
Glenbower Wood The wood of Glenbower, which is one of the few remnants of the ancient forests. Known as a romantic glen, Its precipitous sides are richly wooded, and the Dissour, which runs through it, in winter dashes with the fury of a mountain torrent, fully justifying the name of Glaunbour, or "the Deafening Valley." A new road was opened up through Glenbower by Sir Arthue DeCapel Brooke to reach Aghadoe Estate house, nearly a mile in length around 1837. ‘This road, which passes over a deep ravine by means of a neat iron bridge, commands some delightful views, among which are the magnificent prospect from the Warren Hill, the Bathing-house Glen, the Foxes' Rock, and the Upper Cascade.’ http://amazon.com/gp/product/B000TPXIUK?ie=UTF8&tag=booksulster-20&link_code=em1&camp=212341&creative=384065&creativeASIN=B000TPXIUK&adid=4a14e820-8c10-4ee6-a037-d1f87eda637c%22%20%5Ct%20%22_blankshapeimage_3_link_0

Unfortunately, things have changed since the above passage was written.  There is no longer a lake in Glenbower wood - it was destroyed in 1989.

However, there are still many beautiful walks in the wood.. 

A place that’s well worth a visit!
