Lough Lugh

The Sacred Springs of Uisneach

29th November 2025 12 Comments

Although having been much side-tracked by the wonders in Fore and marvels in Lemanaghan, the Hill of Uisneach was the reason for our recent visit to County Westmeath. We realised we had never been to the geographic and mythological centre of Ireland and thought it time to visit the Omphalos Hibernian, the very navel of Ireland itself! How very fortunate to discover that were also a few holy wells and sacred springs in the vicinity.
