The tidal Barrow

It’s not that the tidal section of the Irish River Barrow is lost or closed down or abandoned, but its current traffic is but a shadow of what it was. This page follows a journey upstream, from Cheekpoint and Barrow Bridge (where the Barrow joins the Suir) to St Mullins (where the Barrow Navigation begins). En route, it notices railway bridges, old quays and ferry routes, limekilns that were supplied by river, mills and sprat weirs.
