Failte/Hello!
This channel showcases the very best of Irelands Hidden Heartlands. From driving on the roads less travelled, walks through ancient forests and hikes through isolated mountain ranges, hopefully this channel will have something for you!
This is a passion project and I don't intend on making any money from these videos. This is just a way to share my passion for adventuring and my homeland with the wider world.
I hope you enjoy your stay, and keep on treking!! :)

Rural Ireland Exploration: Ballyoughtera Church and Graveyard Ruins (Castlemartyr, Co. Cork)
Hello again!
I happened upon this site while I was on holidays in Cork, and said I had to share it. Apologies for the shaky camera, this was recorded on my phone as I did not have my trusty GoPro with me.
Ballyoughtera Church was the parish church for the local area, and has been dated back to 1549. The area was described by Samuel Lewis in his 1837 study "A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland" as a "parish in the barony of Imokilly... and contained within it the market and post - town of Castlemartyr" Lewis also states in his study on the area that the Church was destroyed during the war of 1641, also known as the Irish Rebellion of 1641, where Irish Catholics rose up against the Kingdom ...
