  1. The Angel's Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a well near Cloghan called the "Angel's Well and many people go there and get cured.
    Once upon a time a girl went there to be cured. She was cured all right but when she returned home her mother thought of taking her to Dublin Hospital as she said her daughter was not cured right at the well.
    She was taken to Dublin but no doctor in Dublin could cure her so after this she was deformed again because she did not believe in the Angel's Well.
