St Begnet's Holy Well

Dalkey Island, only a few hundred metres offshore, is home to St Begnet’s Holy Well, the most important of Dalkey’s so-called holy wells. This one is reputed to cure rheumatism, making the island a popular destination for the faithful and tourists alike. The island is easily accessible with Ken the Ferryman from Coliemore Harbour; you can’t book, so just show up.
