About Ferry Bridge
The National Inventory rates Ferry Bridge Regional, one of 3 in Clarina. Ferry Bridge dates from 1770–1790. 3 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
Ferry Bridge was built by William Wheeler of Rossmanaher, County Clare. It had been begun nine years earlier, in 1787, by an architect who had constructed the piers, but owing to high tides and rapid currents these piers were not constructed high enough to spring the arches.

Questions about Ferry Bridge
Is Ferry Bridge on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 21901217).
Can you visit Ferry Bridge?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Ferry Bridge built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1770–1790.
Is Ferry 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.
