The Deserted Village or Booley Village at the foot of Slievemore leaves you with an eerie feeling. Its strange to see so many homes abandoned in Ireland with no more contemporary structures in their place. Its believed that for the most part people emigrated or moved nearer the shore during the Blight of the 1840s. It was used, 'til the 1940s, as a "Booley". Young people stayed there while tending livestock that were moved to higher ground for the summer months.

I live in the Southwest region of Ireland and every chance I get I'm out out to the wild and wonderful countryside in which I live. I appreciate all your support please have a look at my work. If there is a photo of mine which you don't see here then let me know!
