There are usually lots of Fraughens on the sides of the roads going towards Lough Dan from Roundwood village. I am not sure what time of year the growing season is.
Be careful on the narrow roads.

Thanks-always good to learn something new!
Wanted to go blackberry picking myself but I've been told they've gone mouldy with all the rain...
