    Tips

    June 15, 2026

    The wooden Doonass Footbridge was built in 1942 by the Clare 26th Battalion Engineering company and the FCA C Company. It replaced a ferry service which had operated locally. The military built the footbridge to aid movement of the troops stationed here to protect the local power plant. After the war local residents petitioned the commanding officer to leave the bridge in place as it was so useful for the local community.
