Crossword-Solution: AVONBEG 7 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 13

One evening, on the high ground near the Avonbeg, I met a young tramp just as an extraordinary sunset had begun to fade, and a low white mist was rising from the bogs.

AVOCA, or OVOCA, VALE OF, a mountain glen of county Wicklow, Ireland, in the south-eastern part of the county, formed by the junction of the small rivers Avonmore and Avonbeg, which, rising in the central highlands of the county, form with their united waters the Ovoca river, flowing south and south-east to the Irish Sea at Arklow.

Here "in this most pleasant vale," where the Avonbeg joins the Avonmore, is the "Meeting of the Waters." Moore lavished his choicest phraseology upon its charms; and tourists--since there have been tourists--have devotedly stood by, book in hand, and attempted to fit in the poet's words with each tree and stone and rivulet.

Where the Avonbeg unites with the Avonmore is formed "The Meeting of the Waters." Many painters have limned its beauties; and, like Killarney, Loch Katrine, and Richmond Vale, on the Thames, replicas of its charms used years ago to find their way in the "table books of art" and "Treasuries," with which our parents and grandparents used to decorate a small table set before the front window of the parlour.

The Avonmore far, far down in the valley musically murmured while she glided onwards to join the Avonbeg, who joyously awaited her coming in the sweet Vale of Avoca.
