Next Adventure… 📍Windy Gap! 🌬️⛰️
And what a view!! 😍
Special thanks to Lenny's cousin, Martina Walsh for taking us on a little adventure to Windy Gap! Located near Slieve Croob, where the County Down countryside seems to stretch forever!
We loved:
🌿 Rolling green fields as far as the eye can see
⛰️ The impressive backdrop of the Mournes
🌼 Peaceful little inviting paths and
🙏 A little shrine called Our Mother of the Hill, with quite a story behind it!
Apparently, back in 1954, an 8-year-old boy reported seeing an apparition of the Virgin Mary here. A shrine was later established, and it became a place of prayer and pilgrimage.
We had no idea we'd find such an interesting piece of local history tucked away in these hills!
Beautiful views, a little mystery, and another corner of County Down discovered! 💙
