The Middle Earth Glen Experience
Next Bards In The Woods meet up here will now be in 2015. Watch this space for a date and time in the future. The Glen, below Knocknarea, west of Sligo Town is a seemingly very magical place to visit. On arrival it is a total senses aroused wonder. Finding it, for the first time, can be a bit tricky. I have embeded my Google Map for here to assist you finding the location. This is what the entrance looks like now ... A lot of people looking this up will see pics of the entrance like this ... but those gates are gone and the hawthorns etc. have grown rampantly. Another landmark to look out for was a Holy Well white wall that used to look like this but now it has grown over to look like this ... I will serve directions to here below, but first, lets take you into The Glen for a moment. First you have to walk along a path. This is way above a beautiful shoreline like this ... and this is what the path looks like, Claire is walking it here.
