Thomas Moore is said to have written the words of the very famous Irish Melody, "The Meeting of the Waters" here. "There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet, As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet; Oh! The last rays of feeling and life must depart Ere the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart" - Extract: Thomas Moore "the Meeting of the Waters"

Mount Usher Gardens, Ashford: The lovely Mount Usher Gardens which are situated along the banks of the Vartry River at Ashford are very popular with visitors to the ‘Garden’ county of Ireland.
