One of Ireland’s most beautiful 18th-century bridges

Scarawalsh Bridge was built in 1795 and is a well-known landmark located between Enniscorthy and Ferns in County Wexford. This 6 arch humpback road bridge spans the river Slaney and is located in the townland of Scarawalsh. Scarawalsh, pronounced locally as ‘Scarawelsh’, means Walsh’s shallow ford. It was constructed by the Oriel Brothers of Hampshire and is regarded as a particularly important example of late eighteenth-century civil engineering for its beauty and also for its traditional construction.
