A few spins this week thankfully. There's a lot of history in the Irish Midlands.
Walsh Island Bord na Móna Locomotive
I passed Clonygowan by it's Village Green and took a photo of the old water pump.

At Garrymona I stopped at the Ringfort and burial ground, it's quiet here with an air of sadness though.
Garymona Memorial
Clonygowan much like Walsh Island is also a village that once relied on Bord na Móna for most of its work and employment in the midland bogs.
Garrymona
I cycled up to the old Bord na Móna Train to get a quick snap.

Walsh Island got it's unusual name because it was a fertile "Island" in a sea of surrounding bog.
