Lough Diheen, home to Ireland's last serpent
Lough Diheen, the smaller and somewhat less visited cousin of Lough Curragh, sits on the north side of the Galtees beneath the peak of Galtymore and Galtybeg. It is often connected to tales of a snake or a serpent, and the following tale is one of those collected in the the School’s Collection in the 1930s. And, just like nearby Bay Lough in The Vee, there are attempts to drain the lake in this historical tale; what someone would do with an empty lake, remains a mystery!
