  1. St Dympna's Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a well near Trim, called St. Dympha's well. It was closed several times by Pagans because it was called after a saint, and it burst up every time it was closed.
    The waters in it are so clear and pure they can be distinguished from all other water ever compared with them.
