There are bogs everywhere in this part of the country – the Bog of Allen being a rather large one near to Kells. Bogs are interesting places – they are amazing preservers of the past – from 5000 yr old celtic sacrifices to "bog" butter stored (in the bog) for hundreds of years. There is a preservation movement to save what is left…let's hope the amazing biodiversity and archeological importance aren't lost in the pursuit of a cheap power…
We went for a few long walks in "reclaimed"bogs – here are the photos - Bog Walks
