Visit Notes

Sunday, 23rd September 2001

I went to visit this place because I thought that it was very likely to be a Christianised site. After having visited there I no longer think it is. You can not reach St. Kevin's Bed as the hill is fenced all around. St. Kevin's chair however is very accessible. Lying on the side of St. Kevin's way (which looks like a beautiful walk) this curious seat shaped stone is fascinating. Not a place to visit just for the Chair & Bed but certainly worth it for a stroll in some amazing scenery.
