| The Rock Of Doon - Doon - Rock Outcrop |
I had a lovely drive up as far as Letterkenny and then the weather started to look a bit grim. As I passed the sign for Doon Well it started to snow, so I decided to stop here and finally take a look. It is said that water from Doon Well has been sent to nearly every country in the world.
The little clearing in which the well sits is quite idyllic - I certainly wouldn't mind living in the farmhouse nearby (except perhaps around pattern time at the well, when it must get very busy here!)
The well is covered by a small, low shelter and protected by small doors. Next to the well are two thorn trees, which are covered in offerings in the manner of many raggy trees. Despite the large car park, the public toilets and the farmhouse the spot has a feeling of calm about it and seems to exude the ancientness of its history.
