  · 

The summer-flower has run to seed,

And yellow is the woodland bough;

And every leaf of bush and weed

Is tipt with autumn’s pencil now.

~ from ‘Autumn’, written in 1821 by John Clare

Dún a Rí Forest Park in County Cavan forms part of what was formerly the Cabra Estate. This is Sarah’s Bridge which was built in 1801 in memory of Sarah Mountmorris who married into the family whose estate it was. 🥰
