Visiter Bridge Mills.

Bridge Mills is a famous Galway bridge spanning the river Lough Corrib. Made entirely of stone, this bridge is said to be 430 years old! A pretty cool bridge, worthy of Dublin’s Ha’Penny Bridge!

A friendly, lively bridge!

Bridge Mills is believed to date back to the Middle Ages and was built in the 16th century. Recently restored, the bridge houses a small shopping center, with tiny stalls selling local crafts.

Access is free and open to all, whether on foot or by car, and offers a lovely view of the River Corrib and Galway’s tall buildings. Musicians like to stop here to play a few tunes for strollers: a surprising place, which reinforces the town’s strong identity and medieval past!

Every summer, Galway celebrates the history of the bridge with open-air medieval banquets, complete with period costumes, medieval music and period entertainment. A wonderful way to pay tribute to the bridge’s history!
