  1. Folklore - My Native Village

    Share Share Post
    My native village is Ballyhubert. It is the village in which I was born and because of that I like it all the better.
    It is situated in Co Roscommon, about half from the Catholic Church and about three miles from the nearest town. No person who wishes may walk to town because buses run at different times every day and almost every person in the village has different other ways of carriage as well.
    The land in it is good and rich. When tilled, it gives the best of crops. It is also used for grazing and large numbers of cattle are reared.
