Huge d lmens and pillar stones are to be seen in this district. From Fl'rmoy to Lismore, where the Duke of Devonshire's gardens are open to the public, and where the famous Book of Lismore may be surveyed-an exccllent road runs parallel with the Blackwater. This scenery is frequencly compared with the Vallev of the Rhine, bnt those who have seen both places maintain·that the Rhineland does not equal in beauty Irish scenery.
