The Curragh Wetlands

Description
-
The low-lying wetland areas of the northern plain, a distinctive landscape of willow carr, marsh, and bog. The curragh appears in folklore as the haunt of the Phynnodderee, who cut the lubber-lub herb in the rushy curragh. The wetlands supported a particular way of life and a particular ecology, different from the hill farms and the coastal parishes. The curragh landscape is one of the features that makes the northern plain distinct from the rest of the Island.
