Description

Joe visits the town of Kingscourt in County Cavan. Matt Donagh takes him for a walk through a forest where they find some remains of the original village of Cabra which existed before the town of Kingscourt was founded in the Seventeenth Century. They also visit a wishing well made famous by being mentioned in the song Doonaree.

He then meets with local artist Jean Smith as she paints the scene at Cromwell's Bridge. Her son, Niall Smith, is an architect and he shows Joe the bell of the local church which has  been situated outside the church for 140 years but which they now hope to build a bell tower for. Joe then visits the home of Martin Bolger and looks over his collection of 20,000 toy cars. The programme ends with shots of the now completed bell tower.
