Circle of Pens ~ Poetry Trail!
Athboy Fair Green is one of the hidden gems of the county, though perhaps a little off the beaten track but if you happen to be passing through, well worth a visit. The Circle of Pens Writing group that is based in Athboy had a number of poems posted around the Green for the Bank Holiday weekend and two of them can be seen in the photograph above. Presented to the people of Athboy by Lord Darnley in 1910 it would make a wonderful venue for a poetry or musical festival though given the times we're living in that may be a while coming. I was there on Saturday afternoon last and there was very little activity about which was strange given that it was a beautiful day. Also the roads are very badly signposted so your guesswork better be good but I suppose we now live in the Sat Nav age and I should keep up with the times.
