Here are some pictures that I took a few weeks ago when I went for a walk in the Mullinhassig Woods. It’s a really small wood but Poulanhassig Waterfall is like a jewel in the heart of it.A mermaid in the form of a salmon is said to reside in the waterfall pool, who, if approached quickly in late evening, can be seen combing her hair on a stone to the left of the waterfall. If a stranger is sensed, she dives to the bottom of the pool. Near the brink of the waterfall is a boulder, said to be the mermaid’s ‘table’. Another version has the mermaid enticing unwary anglers to the bottom of the pool, where they spend the rest of their existence releasing fish from the hooks of fellow anglers. As you may have guessed I didn’t get enticed to live out the rest of my days in the rock pool.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
Ciaran.
