Lies a beautiful region that is washed by the sea.
For health and for beauty and scenery grand,
Few places can rival our own Barrow strand.

Climb Crosty's steep height and there sit and rest,
Look down on Poll Gorm rolling tranquil and slow

Creep in and out through famed Poll-a-Gabhar,
Watch the waves charging in with many a shock
The steep craggy side of the wild pigeon rock.(continues on next page) - Collector
