A wooded park open to the public was part of the former
grounds of Moira demesne, which used to be the home of
the Earls of Moira. Some
of the castle foundations can still be seen in the park. Across the
road from the park entrance you can see St John's parish church which
sits on the top of a hill at the end of a long, grassy avenue. William

in 1835. |
