With more than 3,500 holy wells in Ireland, these are more than just a place for fresh water, they have special powers. Some have cures for ailments, some are gateways to the otherworld. If you dive into the right well at the right time you could end up in another place, another time, another world.
Some tales tell of a well under the water. Deep in the ocean grows a tree with all the knowledge of the world. A salmon ate a nut that fell from the tree and it was caught by a man who beacme the miost famouys in all Ireland. No one is sure if he is alive or dead.
