Welcome everyone in this months episode I traveled out once more from my North Kerry base on a July day an overcast day this time to a very special place in County Kerry Ireland, A place called Tobar Na Molt Wethers Well which has been associated with the Baptism of our Patron Saint of Kerry Saint Brendan the Navigator and two other local missionary's Bishop Erc who had a settlement there near Arfdert in Lerig and St Ita who was the foster Mother of Saint Brendan who according to locals is reputed to be buried there within the confines of the Holy well enclosure.

The holy well is located several miles from Ardfert another historical place in County Kerry.
