Rednagh Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This 19th-century arch bridge over the Derry Water River is a fine example of Irish civil engineering. The construction is entirely built from local granite, with the precisely cut keystones in the arches immediately catching the eye. These arches are not only elegant but also technically designed to optimally absorb the varying water pressure of the river. The robust parapets of rough natural stone allow the structure to blend seamlessly into the landscape of Aughrim, making the bridge a characteristic monument on the border between history and nature.

A nice riverside walk in Aughrim with well maintained paths and easy access. Four kilometre (2.5 miles) loop available or you can add on a walk up to Cushbawn.

Cushbawn

Highlight • Summit

Beautiful walk and a great views on this gentle hill walk from Aughrim town itself. A nice river walk followed by a forest track walk to the summit. Pity there is no trig point or summit cairn there. There is a pile of stones on the rather flat track on top but that is about it.
