Flemings Folly is a stone tower built on a hill outside Ballinagh, overlooking the countryside and on a clear day it is possible to see the provinces of Ulster, Connacht and Leinster.

It was built by a man named Captain James Fleming from which it originally got its name, in the year 1803. Captain Fleming lived in the townland of Belville and was a substantial farmer. It is said that he formed an opinion he would build a high tower from which he could see the ships sail on the sea. The Folly itself is a two story square tower with mortared walls on rough unworked stones. The stones were raised from a quarry which now forms a little lake next to where the folly now stands.

This original A3 pastel artwork captures that sense of history within it's wild natural surroundings.  Rich, luminous colour brings the landscape to life, making it a striking focal point in any room — from a bright living space to a calm study or hallway.
