These travelogues are delightful! You have a lovely lilt to your voice that adds to the charm. :)
Are all these areas normally so barren of tourists/locals or do you just know the right times to visit? If you brought Jess along would she have to stay on a lead?
I'm a bit nasally at the moment. Hopefully the timbre of my voice lowers a bit soon.
Jess isn't allowed in at all, and I'm rather fine with that. If people are using it to meditate/pray they mightn't like a hound -regardless how cute- sticking her nose in.
That was the very first time I was in that anyone came. While I was there about 10 people came through. But it was to collect water from the well.
Me I'm far more interested with the Celtic aspect. There was a regime change, or at least a change of system. For I'm far from certain that those who were priests of the Celtic pantheon were wiped out in some sort of pogrom. Far more likely I feel that they switched allegiance. And I mostly go to places where there are few-er people :-). And who goes on a weekend break to the middle of a gator festooned swamp wouldn't get that.
I would like to know about the lack of people as well...me three! :) Now, the bubbling water was something. I do feel like you've mentioned that fact in a post awhile back about this area, but to SEE IT is pretty cool. Is it something like a hot spring? I'm surprised no one has taken advantage of it and turned it into one of those natural spas! ;)
Yeah that bubbles thing is just weird. And yes I did post on it, twice, I believe. Hot spring, no, more a Spa I think. I must look up the constituents of the water. SOmeone has bound to have tested it. As to why it's not a factory. There is only one thing saving it, the connection with the church. For even now, with so few attending church, there is a cultural connection that it would take a very brave civil servant or businessman to stand against.

Interesting area--very pastoral and like Kelly, I wonder why these sites are barren of people?

Lovely place. I like going places with few-er people too.
