    probably im not first person who ask abt it, but is anybody saw glencree house in oldboleys forest? I wanted visit few houses from "abandoned ireland" album. Glencree house is one of them. I went there today. Searched forest quite closely. Hard to get in some part cuz of mud and water. But i couldnt find it. Author of "abandoned ireland" states it is "on the edge of the Old Boleys forest at Glencree". It is really hard to believe cuz on photos house is standing surround by leafy trees. And i that forest, boleys, are only coniferous trees. So....is anybody saw that house and at least can confirm that it is there????
    thx in advance for posting

    Interesting quote from the AI website about it...
    The following tale was told to me by two ‘auld fellas’


    ‘You won’t find the house.. there’s a kind of spell on the place, we’ve looked for it once and it wasn’t where it should of been.. nobody can find that place and it shouldn’t be found’

    But then them fellas probably never heard of google maps

    http://maps.google.com/maps?q=glencree,+ireland&hl=en&ll=53.198265,-6.279381&spn=0.000937,0.002669&sll=53.039562,-6.495667&sspn=0.962768,2.732849&hnear=Glencree,+County+Wicklow,+Ireland&t=h&z=19

    Edit: I should say, I've never even set foot in the area, that ruin is just a guess from examining old OSI maps.

    thx for advice, photo and tip. I went straight away as i got your msg. It was actually ruins of some building, but not the one im looking for. It would be too easy find it on google map ; ) I checked old maps on OSI. Even there i couldnt find any buildings in oldboleys forest : ( there is one, but even more on east from ruin u showed me. I spend in glencree 3 days. Without result : (
