Bridges of Ross is a geological curiosity worth seeing in Ireland. These are 3 natural rock arches, carved into the cliffs by natural ocean erosion. So much so, that these arches eventually form bridges: the Ponts de Ross, or “Bridge of Ross” in English. A magical place that seems to defy the laws of physics, and demonstrates the power of the ocean!
Bridges od Ross – @itsyourgrace
Bridges of Ross is located on the west coast of Ross Bay, an Irish bay in County Claren facing the Atlantic Ocean. The sight is breathtaking: the ground seems to have been literally “holed” by the waves. As if the rock had been sculpted by the ocean.
This geological formation is, of course, the result of thousands of years of erosion. This makes the Bridges of Ross a place of perpetual change, and one that will continue to evolve for centuries to come.
Today, only one natural bridge remains, the second having disappeared into the water due to erosion. However, the site has kept its plural name.
The site is very popular with seabirds: many come here to nest! Puffins, seagulls… In fact, the site is considered a popular spot for birdwatchers and other bird enthusiasts. Feel free to stroll around, take photos and admire the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
Be careful, however, when approaching the edge: accidents have happened.
Note that the site is not visible from the road, and may be difficult to find. You can use the nbos GPS points communicated below to be sure of finding it easily.
Head due west (left) from the Ross Bridges parking lot and walk a few hundred metres along the trail.
