    Coolkelure is a pretty wooded valley which lies about 4 miles north-west of Dunmanway. I got this poem about it from Mrs Beamish Milane Dunmanway & she thinks it was composed by Miss Dora Bennett (her husband's aunt) before she went to Australia about 1870
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
