Magic Road near Mahon Falls Waterford : Bothar Draiochta





There is a magic road at the Mahon Falls in Co Waterford. Folklore has it  that during the last war the local council built a road through a fairy glen in order to harvest turf (peat). The fairies cursed the place and made everything appear to go backwards. It is also worth noting that the turf harvested from this area was part of the consignment that caused the collapse of the Jail wall in Waterford resulting in the loss of life.Drivers claim that even when their car engines are switched off cars still roll uphill at a section of road in the Comeragh Mountains
