  1. Folklore - A Story of Saint Patrick

    Share Share Post
    It is supposed that Saint Patrick visited a holy well in Tobberpatrick field, a village not far from Strokestown.
    This well is the shape of an ink bottle and it is surrounded with a nice stone wall. A clump of ash trees are growing all around the well. Some people visit that holy well each year. It is called Tobberpatrick because Saint Patrick paid a visit there.
