CONGRATULATIONS MALLOW ROUNDABOUT!
You’ve been chosen to appear in the 2015 Roundabouts of the World calendar.
Yes, that’s a real thing.
Kevin Beresford (who calls himself ‘The Lord of the Rings) of the UK’s Roundabout Appreciation Society has bestowed the honour upon the Co Cork feature, praising its:
… explosion of colour and fragrance, coupled with a somewhat erotic stone sculpture featuring two entwined stallions with mounted male figures.
Extolling the Mallow roundabout’s virtues even further Beresford adds:
I personally feel this charming traffic island perfectly sums up what is the epitome of the perfect global gyratory. Roundabouts really do not come much better than this.
So now.
