  1. A Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a Holy Well in the townland of Beach, about 1 1/2 miles from Bantry.
    People visit it on the 15th August every year, to perform rounds and say prayers.
    The people bathe any sore place with the water.
    There is a bush there on which cloths, rosary beads and medals etc have been left.
