Relax to the sights and sounds of a flowing river and it accompanying birdsong.
The purpose of these recordings is to assist in achieving a state of calm and relaxation in one’s mind. In a stressful world like ours, we perhaps sometimes need to take a step back and allow the simple wonders of nature to fill our senses
St Mel’s Cathedral
The Cathedral Church of St Mel is the cathedral church of the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnois, located in the town of Longford in Ireland. Built between 1840 and 1856, with the belfry and portico as later additions, it has been considered the “flagship cathedral” of the Irish midlands region, Longford’s “landmark building” and “one of the finest Roman Catholic churches in Ireland”. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Mél (died 488), who came to Ireland with Saint Patrick and who was ordained bishop at Ardagh, County Longford.
On Christmas Day 2009 the cathedral was destroyed by a fire in the early hours of the morning. The restored cathedral re-opened in December 2014.
