  1. The local road in Tinnock leads to the village of Campile. This road was made about 90 years ago. Before that road was made the old road from Carownree to the top of the mill hill. People sometimes use this road at present as it is a short cut to Campile but only as a foot path. The road which begins at the end of the old road was made during the famine years.
