  1. Folklore - Holy Wells - Tobar na bhFíon

    Share Share Post
    Tobar na bhFíon is situated in Cordal. The meaning of this Irish name is known to be the well of the wine.
    In former times people came to make rounds there. If the person who pays the rounds happens to see the trout he is supposed to be cured. One day a gentleman alighted from his horse to take a drink from the well.
    He found the water was so good that he called it the well of the wine.
