Priest Bridge Cottage

On the edge of Tollymore Forest Park and the Mourne Mountains to the West, situated on the Shimna River this area is designated as 'an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
Priest Bridge cottage is one of 4 cottages in a terrace of mill labourers dwellings. Originally the terrace was built as six two room units. One room upstairs and one room downstairs. The original back wall of the property can be seen in the thick stone wall at the back of the living room. The terrace later became three dwellings as family requirements became more demanding. However the centre terrace was returned to it original twin dwellings some time later. With extensive renovations and development the property has been tastefully brought to 21st Centurary requirements, and provides an excellent base for a cosy rural retreat.
