About Alymer Bridge
The National Inventory rates Alymer Bridge Regional, one of 80 in Celbridge. Its record dates Alymer Bridge to 1780–1785.
This stone canal bridge, strategically located on the county boundary, is a fine example of a standard type canal bridge, retaining its original form and dimensions, including the sweeping curves of its walls to the towpaths which give it an air of sculpted geometry.

Yes: rated Regional (record 11207001).
Can you visit Alymer Bridge?

Is Alymer Bridge protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
