Leighlinbridge

With its narrow, winding streets that rise and fall with the lie of the land, grey limestone malthouses and jagged castle ruins overlooking a 14th century bridge, the centre of the little town of Leighlinbridge straddling the River Barrow and 1km off the N9 opens a vista of an earlier Ireland to the visitor.
