Ireland Cahersiveen Railway Bridge
This shot shows the old railway bridge spanning the estuary at the back of the town of Cahersiveen. It was part of the Great Southern and Western Railway that ran from Valentia harbour to Farranfore. It has long since ceased operating, closing in 1960.
However there are current plans to turn the route into a walking and cycling "greenway".
Cnoc na dTobar (mountain of wells) rises behind the bridge on the left. The cloud capped hills on the right the beginnings of the Teeromoyle mountains.
