This is an old Mass Path that is over 300 years old. Indeed it could date back to the 1600s which is the date of the original church it leads to. It runs between Kilcoole/Delgany and to the village of Kilquade to the church of St. Patrick. Families would have travelled the 3 miles along here on their way to church and back home again on Sundays long ago. There is a lovely feeling to it and Im sure it comes from the people and children away back then, who walked here with goodness and love in their hearts every Sunday and on holy days many years ago.
The path was cut in half by a new dual carriage way a few years back but the council kept the right of way open and built new access stiles to it on either side of the road as the locals were not prepared to see it closed. Good for them! The people still use the path for walking and exercising their dogs. They also maintain it and keep it trimmed back a bit but not too much as the wildness of it is in keeping with its character. It follows along by a small stream and to me it is a very special place. I often walk it and I did this morning.
Here is a link to the old church in Kilquade which has a great history and if I was religious, I think this is where I would go every Sunday but Id have to walk the old path like those good people all those many long years ago.

Wow! Im amazed how popular this photo is and its really such a simple thing. I didnt have a tripod so I took it hand held.
I had to take it at 4.5 and the best I could manage was 1/40th of a second. Ive steady hands luckily. Real photographers do it hand held!!!! Lol!
Its a great place and I like the history and the simplicity of it.
I think thats what people [You! ] like about it.
So a big thank you and hug to you all!

well, then they are probably stuck in the snowstorm and haven't found this path yet…..but they will, I'm sure!!'''
"Even in winter an isolated patch of snow has a special quality." Quote - Andy Goldsworthy
Do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
The rain and wind these days have not helped the trees with their colorful leaves. Most are falling dry and brown or still are green.
Just a path, that winds through a small, secluded and quiet valley, somewhere in this world, and the path disappears behind the small knoll. Insignificant, not spectacular, but it's just there. And everyone who uses it enjoys its existence and its function. Without saying a word or a thought about it. Did he deserve it?
