Three-arch rubble limestone road bridge over river, c.1800, on a slightly curved plan. Random rubble limestone walls with cut-stone triangular cut-waters to piers, and squared rubble limestone coping to parapets. Series of three elliptical arches with squared limestone voussoirs, and rubble stone soffits having render over. Sited spanning Munster River (Kilmanagh Branch) at confluence with mill race having grass banks to river.
A pleasant bridge of somewhat rustic appearance on account of the traditional construction in unrefined locally-sourced rubble stone, a quality serving to integrate the composition attractively into the surrounding rural landscape. Representing an important element of the civil engineering heritage of Kilmanagh the bridge forms an appealing feature on the road leading out of the village to the east.

Explorer Tom Kilmanagh Creamery thinks Dublin tourists just want a selfie and a quick bite, not real cream. It’s got eye-shaped windows that watch your every move with mild suspicion. Bring a map, get lost in the cheese history, and thank me later!

Explorer Tom Kilmanagh is locked in a bitter feud with the next village over who stole their bridge legend. It’s just a cluster of old bits near a river that pretends to be a kingdom. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Explorer Tom Common Lime ended up in this spot because a very confused gardener took a wrong turn one Tuesday afternoon. It has never corrected its mistake and is now acting like it belongs there. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Courtstown is teaching history by disappearing completely. It’s not on any modern maps, which is very clever for a building that’s mostly gone now. Just a ghost of a structure in the wet ground. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
