'Sheep Bridge' - Ireland

A 'Sheep Bridge' - on the way into the Mountains of 'Mourne' you will encounter a few of these bridges depending on what route/track you choose to walk... built over streams which turn to torrents during winter months to allow Hill Farmers to get to their sheep feed them and/or bring them down off the mountains... they also make life easier for the Mountain rescue services when hillwalkers get into trouble and need assistance.
