Salmon Weir Bridge (The)

Description:

• The Salmon Weir Bridge crosses the Corrib from the Cathedral on one side to the courthouse on the other. Hordes of people gather on this bridge from mid-April to early July to see the shoals of salmon make their way up the Corrib river to spawn. During the salmon season, people stop to watch anglers fishing in the waters below, applauding each catch. (However, the anglers are not always pleased to have an audience!) There is a magnificent view of the Cathedral from the bridge itself, and the view remains impressive all the way down to Wolfe Tone Bridge.
