About the Walk:
Glenpatrick Bridge Walk is a very scenic and enjoyable walk and interesting whatever the time of year. The second half of this walk is particularly interesting as you take walk under the north eastern slopes of Knockanaffrin Ridge along part of the old and very picturesque Clonmel to Kilmeaden road. I did this walk in the Summer and rhodedendrons were blomming – the colours were amazing.
