Geocache Description:


The Kells Water is a good fishing river and is a continuation of the Glenwherry river. In turn it itself flows into the river Maine.
The Kells Water is a nursery river, which salmon, trout and dollaghan use to spawn in November and December

The cache is placed at an attractive spot with a picturesque bridge close by, but as with all water care should be taken with young children. The Shanksbridge road crosses here and the village of Kells is about a mile away.

The cache is in a small snap lid container covered in green tape.

Please park carefully

Kellswater, not to be confused with the above, is a small hamlet to the West
It is famed for the song: Bonnie Kellswater

Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater
For it's there you'll find the pleasures of life
And it's there you'll find fishing and farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife.

On the hills and the glens and the valleys
Grows the softest of women so fine
And the flowers are all dripping with honey
There lives Martha, a true love of mine.

Bonnie Martha, you're the first girl I courted
You're the one put my heart in a snare
And if ever I should lose you to another
I will leave my Kellswater so fair.

For this one and that one may court her
But no other can take her from me
For I love her as I love my Kellswater
Like the primrose is loved by the bee.

Here's a health to you, bonnie Kellswater
For it's there you'll find the pleasures of life
And it's there you'll find fishing and farming
And a bonnie wee girl for your wife.
