  1. Local Roads

    Share Share Post
    The road which leads from Cloneen to the foot of Slievenamon is called the mountain road because it runs along the foot of the mountain. It is not tarred because it is not very important. It is a very old road. About one mile from Cloneen there is a bridge crossing the river Anner. It is called Melbourne bridge. The bridge which spans the clodac at Peafield was put up bout 65 years ago. Before the bridge was made they used large stones called stepping stones. There is a mass path from Tubber to Cloneen. The owners of the land which the path is on couldn't stop anyone from going on this path. When you are going from Tubber to Cloneen you cross over the Anner by means of a stick or plank. The Clonmel road is the oldest road from Cloneen.
