The story goes that he falls in love with a woman of the Otherworld, Niamh, and she takes him to the land of Tir na nÓg (Land Of Youth) on the back of a magical horse who could walk on water. When he got there he felt homesick and asked to be taken home. Reluctantly she takes him back but when they returned to Ireland 300 years had passed. Niamh warned him not to set foot on the ground, but he fell from the horse and instantly became elderly and died of old age
