Gearhameell Bridge, Killarney.
rPhe Gearharneen River, which this bridge spans, flows from the JlcGillicuddy Reeks (near the head of the Gap of Dttnloe) and through r'umeenduff Lakes and Glen into the Upper Lake, IGllarney. This district figures in many an Irish tale of adventure and romance. It is also a favourite among tourists, S01ne 01 whom choose the pleasant circular day-trip through the Gap of Dunloe and the three lakes, while many another wanders, on foot or cycle, through the wild beauty of off-the-beaten-track places, which crowd upon him here.
" Gae1,tha" is a Gaelic word for a woodland along a river, overgrown with bushes or under growth. And the suffix " min" indicates that this gaertha is made up of a growth of small trees and delicate shrubbery.
