All three of my photos were taken from the same location, on the road between Ballinabranna and Rossmore, with the camera aimed in different directions.
The wind turbines are near Hackett's Town.
As for the ruined manor house, you are not the first to ask! Here is a copy of a pm I sent explaining about it:

I've been in it quite a few times. there used to be an old underground passageway which was said to led all the way back
upto clogrennane, when we only managed to get about 50ft into it caused its completely blocked up now. cant remember the story why but locals blocked it up a good while back ~20 or more years ago.

Can it be accessed or would permission be required from the landowner to visit the site?

PM reply if necessary...

I can make an enquiry for you tomorrow. If I don't know the landowner I know his neighbour and he'll put me straight. Probably wont be online tomorrow until nighttime so bear with me.

Was there a few times as a kid.
There's a tunnel starting in the field at the front (back) of the house.
It heads in the direction of the house, but can't be found in the house.
Word had it at the time that it finished up Killeshin.
Other story was it finished at the drinks factory in Graiguecullen
Lovely house, would be class to renovate.. lovely entrance at back (front)

Hi Deliverance, love the pics. I tried to re create that pic you done of that building on the river the other night, but with not great results. Love that pic. What bridge is that in the second pic

Seamus Clancy · 18-11-2010 3:33pm

Great Photos ! They are so good that I am thinking of giving up my attempt to take photos in the area.

The photo of Rudkins' Mill is particularly beautiful as is the photo of The Barrow Bridge near Slyguff Lock.

Many thanks to all involved!

Deliverance XXV · 19-11-2010 3:33pm

Thanks guys. That is indeed the Barrow Bridge. Pretty cool place around the train times.

Tullow at about 4 p.m. and it's still snowing...that's our poor apple tree and underneath is the parsnip patch.I know you are supposed to let parsnips get a touch of cold but...

DANNY22XX · 01-12-2010 9:41pm

looks like its snow for the night according to weather reports

tommycahir · 01-12-2010 9:58pm

jesus Danny don't say that, I only have 2 lengths of guttering left on my house with the amount of snow that is coming off the roof and breaking the brackets..

and to top it all off it is even coming in over the wellies when trying to fix up the gutters..

what are those bars on the water and why did they remove them?

Seamus Clancy · 15-05-2011 8:47pm

As far as I remember this was a walkway across the weir. You didn't have to get you feet wet and were unlikely to be swept off the weir.

Its a few miles from graiguenamanagh and is a scenic area and part of the navigable stretch of the Barrow so prsumably boats will be tying up and people using the picnic areas, showers and toilets.
