Single-arch limestone road bridge over Clogharevaun River, built c.1780, with arch rebuilt c.1890. Coursed rock-faced rusticated walls to segmental arch, with similar voussoirs and limestone copings. Rubble walls to causeway to east with rubble copings, having round-headed relieving arch to wall, and overflow arches with cut-stone voussoirs.
This bridge is notable for its rock-faced copings and voussoirs which add textural variation juxtaposed against the earlier rubble walls. The earliest Ordnance Survey map shows a wider river channel, a more meandering route, and large areas liable to floods. Subsequent drainage schemes, presumably linked to the Attymon Junction to Loughrea light railway, altered the course of the river. It forms a technically interesting structure over the Clogharevaun River and can been viewed at a distance from the eastern approach, adding visual interest to the landscape.

Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Saint PaulChurch/chapel · 454 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul in Clogharevaun would order a chipper with extra gravy and no onions, hands down. It’s got Evie Hone stained glass inside which is top-tier art for a country church that just wants to be left alone. Make a wish, it's had centuries to think about it.

B. WardHouse · 574 yd

Explorer Tom B. Ward house in Clogharevaun would order a chipper with extra vinegar and no questions asked. It’s a vernacular gem now serving as a pub, which fits perfectly. Pop by and tell it it's still charming.

Clogharevaun BridgeBridge · 856 yd

Explorer Tom Clogharevaun Bridge in Clogharevaun has a curse on it: if you don’t wave, your car breaks down. It’s really just old stone being dramatic about its new central arch. Give it a quick hello from me.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Castle at Dunsandle is playing hard to get. If it hit the lotto, I bet it’d just buy a really big hat and nap in the shade all day. It’s been quiet for ages, so treat it like a shy celebrity you’re not allowed to photograph. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom Check map in Athenry is actually a late fifteenth-century market cross in the town square. It’s been watching people haggle for centuries while pretending it doesn’t care about prices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party with local vendors.

IndicatedTown defences · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Town defences in Athenry are just the bones of what used to keep people out or in. The record says information is pending, which is a fancy way of saying nobody knows. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Horse-chestnut5.2 miFirst Battle of AthenryBattle · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom The First Battle of Athenry involved a cow that tried to buy its way out with milk. History is mostly made up by people who were hungry. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
