Newbridge videographer Luke Shaw has released a drone video of the Hill of Allen in west Kildare.

The volcanic hill situated was reputed to be the seat of the warrior Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna but is currently the location of a quarry.

In the past, Luke has also captured footage of one of Kildare's lesser known attractions - Pollardstown Fen

We are shown the picturesque scenery as the camera floats over the wooden board walkway that cuts through the marsh known for its unique flora and fauna.

Luke also recorded aerial footage of The Rock of Dunamase - off the M7 between Emo and Portlaoise - which offers spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.

 

It was the location of an early Christian settlement known as Dun Masc and later became an important Anglo Norman fortification.

The Vikings pillaged the settlement in 842.
