Well of St. Brigid
 


Just 2 miles down the road from the Cliffs of Moher toward Liscannor is the Holy Well of St. Brigid. This is just alongside the road there. A short hall leads to a hillside spring. In the hall, personal and religious memorabilia left behind by the faithful Catholic visitors seeking cures and blessings. According to a plaque here, legend has it the holy well originated in a field across from the current location. A servant girl desecrated the well by taking water from it for domestic use and it sprung up across the road the following morning where it is at present. Many people come from all over the world to pray at the well and leave some tokens either in thanksgiving or to seek favors.
