Day 25 - Backroads by the Bypass

It was quite an overcast Easter Saturday morning as I set out, with the intention of exploring some of the forgotten by-roads around the main motorway into Bundoran. I was prompted to think about Patrick Kavanagh’s Iniskeen Road poem, where he declares himself King of ‘Banks and Stones and every blooming thing’ – because as I wandered around, the sheer vibrancy of plant-life was revealing itself everywhere, in every ditch, nook and cranny. Join me now, for a glimpse of extraordinary beauty in the ordinary back roads of our little corner of Donegal. Enjoy!
