    Holy Well
    There is a holy well in Tubberpatrick called Patrick's well. When Saint Patrick was going through Co Wicklow, he went to this well, and drank out of it, that is how it got it's name.
    A couple of years ago there were two trout caught in this well. There are a lot of fraughan bushes growing around this well. A woman who had sore eyes, went to this well and drank out of it, and she was cured.
