  1. The Fairy Boreen

    Share Share Post
    "The Fairy Boreen" is in the land of Mr. Cronin. It is in the townland of Knocknasuff, in Blarney Parish, Co. Cork. Tradition says that every night the fairies used to dance and sing in the boreen. The boreen cannot be seen now as one side of the fence has been taken away.
