  1. RELIGIOUS STORY
    There is a holy well in Imphrick called after St. Declan. In days gone by a poor blind Kerryman dreamt that the water of this well would restore his lost sight. He made the journey guided by his wife and was given lodging in a little cabin near the well. After visiting the well and paying rounds daily and bathing his eyes with the water his sight was restored completely.
