Completed in 1830, Athlunkard Bridge was designed by the renowned Pain Brothers (James and George Richard Pain), who were also responsible for other prominent Limerick bridges like Thomond Bridge and Baal's Bridge. Construction began in 1826 and cost approximately £7,000. It features five granite arches and cut limestone, showcasing the high-quality stone masonry skills of the era. The bridge runs on an east-west axis, connecting Corbally Road in Limerick to County Clare.

There is an excellent path to going hiking or running. If you continue to the end of the way, you could find out one beautiful view of Shannon's river.

Cool views from the walking trail
