Loughinisland Churches.

A nice place to stop on the way to Newcastle just off the main road behind Brennans Petrol Station.

Three old Churches and a graveyard.

If you head there from Annacloy down the Loughinisland Road there are some nice bends.

The well / spring flows through a number of places to Wash, Eyes, Drink, before flowing out to the sea



A great view of the marsh and a walk towards the ocean.
