Saint Bridget's Well
Spring
Editor's Notes
The holy well at Faughart, by tradition the birthplace of St Brigid of Kildare, Ireland's most venerated female saint. The hillside shrine, with its well, stream and stations, remains an active place of pilgrimage, particularly around her feast day on the first of February.
