Burrishoole Bridge on the Great Western Greenway

Highlight • Bridge

This characteristic stone bridge forms a crucial junction on the 18 km stage between Newport and Mulranny. The bridge spans the Burrishoole River at the point where the fresh water from Lough Feeagh mixes with the salty tidal waters of Clew Bay. From the Greenway, you have an unobstructed panoramic view here of the nearby 15th-century abbey ruins and the fish traps that have been used for centuries to catch wild salmon and eel, against the backdrop of the rugged Nephin Beg Mountains.

View of the Nephin Mountains

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lough Fadda (The Long Lake): Situated directly on the south side of the Great Western Greenway, this narrow lake forms a distinctive natural border on the stage between Newport and Mulranny. "Lough Fadda" (Irish for Loch Fada) stretches for almost a kilometer parallel to the cycle path and is a typical example of a peat lake, characterized by its deep, dark water and surrounding marsh vegetation. From this point, you have a spectacular contrasting view: on one side, the serene shores of the lake, and on the other, the rugged, open vistas across the inlets of Clew Bay.
