Glentornan is a deserted village in County Donegal, nestled beside Lough Dunlewey, with a magnificent view of Errigal mountain. Who lived there years ago, and why did they leave?
Restoration of Secret Victorian Walled Garden at Kylemore Abbey
We were staying at Leenaun in Connamara recently for a school reunion of my husband’s class from over four decades ago! I hadn’t been there for many years, and it was wonderful to see how unspoilt it is; still with its beautiful golden and purple landscape at this time of year. Best of all, from my point of view, was the story of Kylemore Abbey’s restoration of an abandoned garden from decades ago.
