Message from Kylie Kinsella

St. Olcan's Holy Well in Cranfield, County Antrim is a sacred spot with healing powers, blessed by the saint himself. The well contains gypsum crystals that are said to protect women during childbirth and prevent men from drowning. Visitors can still perform traditional rituals at the site, like walking around the church and dropping stones, or tying rags to nearby trees for healing. It's a peaceful place steeped in history and folklore, where pilgrims have sought solace for centuries.
