Kerry: Lehid Bridge

LEHID BRIDGE, KENMARE, CO KERRY

LEHID Bridge is stone-built, with a pretty mountain stream running beneath, a small waterfall upriver, gravel beds downriver. It is named Drombohilly; the foaming water on its many small falls runs white as milk. At the time of writing, a sign prohibits salmon fishing because the river is being restocked.

Our walk (4 miles, 6.5km almost precisely) takes us inland, upriver, but it is a short stroll downriver first will take us under fine oak trees, and across a narrow metal bridge, its floor of iron laths heavily corroded.
