Just a stones throw from Hanly Woolen Mills and Shop, this five-arch bridge and tower house remnants provide a picturesque stop along the Slí Eala (Way of the Swan) Riverbank Walk that runs between the lakeside village of Dromineer and the outskirts of Nenagh. There is a weir (dam) built right next to the bridge that manages to be quite attractive despite being made of concret. A carpark at the bridge makes for easy parking, just watch for cars if you cross the road.
