Still in Co. Laois and this time I did find a Holy Well - St. Fintan's Well, close to Cromogue in Laois and it has to be one of the best maintained Holy Wells I've ever seen. It's off a little road off another litte road - the road it is on is one of those with the grass growing in the middle, hedges growing well on either side and then all of a sudden you come to this hedge which is trimmed to either side of a little green and white gate.
More little hedges inside the gate, you can just see them in this photo behind the statues at the well.
It's really pretty and neat and so hidden away. Absolutely well worth a visit just to see it. The water in the well itself is probably not more than a foot deep and is crystal clear.
Cromogue would be between Shanahoe and Raheen and not even that far from Abbeyleix
