Athlone Canal
Athlone Canal
This picture is taken from south of the town near where the Canal enters the Shannon. The Canal which is approximately a mile and a quarter in length is situated west of Athlone and was built by Thomas Omer in 1757 to by-pass the stretch of river which flows through the town. The by-pass was necessary because the river had a series of shallows and rapids as well as some man-made obstacles such as eel-weirs which impeded the navigation. There is a natural fall of over four foot between the point where the canal commenced, north of Athlone (near the No 1 Battery) and where it re-entered the Shannon. To overcome this drop a large lock was constructed – when the Canal went out of use following the Shannon Navigation Works the Lock was used to power a mill.

The Boardwalk in Glendalough
The Boardwalk in Glendalough
This photograph shows a lady sitting by the boardwalk in Glendalough overlooking the valley below. It was built using old unused railway sleepers. There was a great need for this boardwalk as the route along the top of the Spinks cliffs in Glendalough is a popular route taken by many walkers. Over use of this walk in recent times had resulted in trail erosion close to the cliff edge which was very dangerous to the unsuspecting walker. The boardwalk itself is about 2 and a half miles long and has viewing spots along the way to admire the beautiful valley with the upper and lower lakes below. There are many known walks that meet up with the boardwalk in Geldalough, passing by Lugduff, Gelnmalour and other areas along the Wicklow Way.
