Town of Nobber

There lies some fascinating woodland and rural scenery around 30 miles from Dublin City, North east of the village of Nobber. The Danish Fort located near the town is a fine location for visitors. This place is mainly known as the native place of Carolan (1670), a famous Irish harper who became blind at an early age. Still he kept on to be one of the most celebrated Irish musicians of the time. The last of the great Irish harpists, Turlough O Carolan was born here in 1670.
