It's one of the oldest bridges of its kind in Europe.
A midlands historical site has seen the oldest wrought iron suspension bridge in Ireland fully restored.
Birr Castle Demesne Suspension Bridge is one of the oldest of its kind in Europe.
Works were completed with support from the Historical Structures Fund 2023.
General Manager at Birr Castle Demesne, Grainne O’Malley, says "The Birr Suspension Bridge is of significant technical interest as a rare surviving example of a multiple-wire cable suspension bridge, possibly the earliest surviving in Europe, dating between 1821 and 1825. Its historical association with the innovative Parsons family adds another layer of importance."
The bridge is now operational and open to the public.
