Ted Cook Plants an Oak tree & visits a 500+ year old Oak
Cork ecologist Ted Cook led an interesting walk through the Macroom Castle Demesne to plant an oak sapling and then walked on to see the 500+-year-old McCarthy Oak which has a girth of 611cm. A recently fallen limb from the tree had more than 500 rings counted so the tree itself is well over 500 years old.
Macroom Castle Demesne is now owned by a local Trust having been sold in 1924 by Lady Olivia Ardilaun to a group of local businessmen for the benefit of the community.

From FSHT's site
The Trust owns approximately 1400 acres on Sawyer Mountain. The land is open for public use for hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling on existing trails, and cross-country skiing. The Sawyer Mountain Highlands are located in the largest unfragmented block of undeveloped forested areas in York and Cumberland counties. This is especially significant since the Highlands are only 22 miles from Portland, the largest urban area in Maine.
One access is via the discontinued Sawyer Mountain Road, which is a trail that starts from Route 117 in Limington. The Trust has provided a small (daytime use) parking area; hiking maps are available in a map box there. The trailhead is located at a sharp turn in Route 117, 2.5 miles south of the junction of Routes 25 and 117, or 2.4 miles north of the junction of Routes 11 and 117.
The mountain is also accessible from the Limerick side, starting at the Sawyer Mountain Road, 1.1 miles north of Emerys Corner. The Trust has a small (daytime use) parking area on the right side of the road. Hikers can either access the mountain via the Sawyer Mountain Road or use the beautiful new Smith trail through the woods which starts at the back of the parking area. The trail joins the road futher up the mountain.
Please note that, except for handicapped access, wheeled vehicles are not permitted on Trust properties except in the parking areas. Also, please leave intact any historical artifacts that may be found in the old foundations and cemeteries located on Trust lands. Please carry out what you carry in so that the next visitor may also enjoy the Highlands. Please do not cut any vegetation.

Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
While holidaying in Northern Ireland we had a most fascinating afternoon visiting the Giant's Causeway; walking along the coastline and exploring these interlocking basalt columns, mostly hexagonal, of ancient volcanic rock.
These hexagonal columns of ancient volcanic rock get their name from a quaint legend of Finn MacCool (Fionn mac Cumhaill) building a causeway across the sea from Ireland to Scotland in order to accept a challenge to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. A fairy-tale story (for which there are many variations) made-up to explain why there are identical hexagonal columns of basalt on the other side in Scotland. Whereas, in fact both rock formations are part of the same ancient lave flow.

10 Earth's Most Spectacular Places - Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located in County Antrim, on the northeast coast of Northern Ireland, about two miles (3 km) north of the town of Bushmills. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland. In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managed by the National Trust and it is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland. ( source Wikipedia )
