River Bredagh Bridge
is a traditional stone bridge, argued by many to be one of Ireland’s oldest bridges. The bridge itself is thought
to date from the 6th Century and according to legend was built by St
Patrick who stopped here on his way to a nearby ancient site at Cooley.

Hoi Bill, fraaie foto, echt nostalgie deze oude stenen brug.
ReplyDeleteGroet Kees.
I understand the physics of how these things stand up but I'm still amazed that they survive for so long. Our ancestors were a lot more ingenious than we often imagine.
ReplyDeleteThis bridge truly is a blast from the past. I like how you photographed the scene.
ReplyDelete...this beauty give an entire different meaning to 'old.'
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous picture, Bill. The history is incredible and it is a beautiful setting!
ReplyDeleteThat bridge is from way back when. And the way you composed the picture is extra special too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is a beautiful photo Bill. It could almost be a painting!
ReplyDeleteBill, this is such an idyllic and serene scene! Wow!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a sturdy bridge. It is amazing how they last century after century.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, Bill !
ReplyDeleteThis little bridge is fantastic !
I remember when ol' Pat came by. He was something. Built that bridge between breakfast and lunch and then went into town to heal the sick. It's a superb bridge but I told him it wouldn't last more than a couple of years. I think he put a hex on me as I've never felt quite right since that day ... what I consider the real St. Patrick's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bridge!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Looks very tranquil and serene.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a gorgeous bridge and a gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteA fabulous pic, Bill!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a magical place! Lovely photo, Bill!
ReplyDeleteThis certainly does look like ancient stonework. I can't imagine St. Patrick stopping along the way to build a bridge, however. He's never struck me as the mason type.
ReplyDeleteLove it! wish we had that sort of history here in NZ.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a beautiful composition Bill.. this is definitely one of those 'I wish I'd taken it' shots.. and all that history as well, bonus!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteI like simple stone bridges like this one.
