Geocache Description:

Saint Patrick's Well, Clonmel, County Tipperary.

The picturesque and very beautiful St. Patrick's Well is located just outside Clonmel, less than a kilometre from Marlfield.

Here there is a weather-beaten small celtic cross, a tiny ruined chapel and holy well. The well has long been a popular place of pilgrimage. The waters from the well pour into a large circular pond at the foot of an old tree. The cross situated at the centre is of celtic style and dates back to early christianity. The little church measuring 42 feet long and 17 feet broad is over 375 years old. Within the church can be seen the Alter Tomb of the White Family which was brought from Old St.Mary's Church in Clonmel. It contains the remains of Nicholas White who belonged to the "House of York" throughout the War of the Roses in the 15th Century.

 

Note:  The cache site is located on a steep slope - take extra care when ground conditions are wet.

The cache is a small camouflaged plastic canister. Please re-hide carefully. BYOP.
