Dublin Airport is close by.“There's a bower of roses near Bendemeer's stream.....” - Thomas Moore.The name of this property has been very well chosen by the first owners. Bendamir appears on ancient maps of Persia as a river which flows through the ruins of Chilminar. Thomas Moore immortalised it in his Eastern Romance 'Lalla Rookh' (1817) when Zelica plays her lute and sings the ballad Bendemeer's Stream to Azim.....in later years the song was extracted from its original source and popularised by many tenors like John Mc Cormack and later Frank Patterson ......so it came to be associated with the Irish mystical landscape.
