  1. Another Mass Path

    Share Share Post
    There were a lot of old Mass paths in the north of our district coming to an old chapel that was in Mr. Martin Flynn's glen. The glen is in a dark lonely place. The Mass path is starting from Mr. Tom Whittles farm in Ballinvella. It is going through his farm and then into Mr. Tobin's ground. It is coming out near the New Line where Mr. Tom Rowe lives. To go this way is a great short cut. The old people used go this way to Mass.
