  2. Old Roads - The Rock Road

    Share Share Post
    The rock road leads from Inistioge to Cappagh, and Thomastown. It was made during the famine as relief work for the starving people. Before the road was made it was all a rock. Mr Tighe the Inistioge land-lord objected to the road been made but Mr. Green the owner of the rock said he would run it in spite of him, and so he did. The point road leads from Inistioge to the Woodstock saw mills. The point road was the main road to the Woodstock domain and to the red house.
