Kilsheelan Bridge has spanned the Suir since 1820. Its classic, triple-arch humpback form makes it a fine sight from the Suir Blueway. It provides access from the village to the network of tracks in Gurteen Wood.

Hiking

Very similar to the Gasworks Bridge in Clonmel, this form is notable for its use of large arches relative to its size, and the addition of a dry arch for pedestrian use in riverbank walks. Textural contrast is provided by the juxtaposition of cut stone and carved stone with rubble walls. Visible from a considerable distance over the surrounding landscape, the triple-arch humpback form has been adapted and expanded to create an elegant and dramatic feature.
