"The road from Pettigoe to Lough Derg, for the last two miles, is unfit for carriages of any sort. From the high grounds we travel over in approaching it we command the lough, with its tiny islets, and a great ex tent of the wild and desolate sur rounding country. The hills which environ it are barren and heathy, and possess neither form nor height to produce a very striking effect— desolation reigns around. There is hardly a green spot on which the eye can rest, or a comfortable house to cheer the scene."
