The suspension footbridge within the grounds of Birr Castle, Co. Offaly was built between 1821 and 1825 - a rare surviving example of an early wire-cable suspension bridge. It is the oldest wrought-iron suspension bridge in Ireland.

Died #Onthisday 1885 Countess Rosse, astronomer & photographer who lived in@BirrCastle& built a 6-foot telescope (‘Leviathan of Parsontown’) the world’s largest telescope for + 70 years & mentioned in Jules Verne’s From the Earth to the Moon blog.sciencemuseum.org.uk/the-remarkab...

I love images that lead the eye. The Hornbeam Cloisters in Birr Castle Demesne are perfect for that!

Very different underfoot conditions at Strasbourg this afternoon compared to York's Ebor meeting, as Birr Castle wins at Listed level by half a length from the 98-rated Pleaseman. The Juddmonte International in which he finished third remains an enormously difficult race to judge.

I relish the history of astronomy, and my wife loves gardens, so our visit to #BirrCastle was the high point of our trip to Ireland. We took two days to stroll around the place, examining everything in the excellent museum.

Like you, I took SO MANY PHOTOS, & back in Chicago, turned 'em into a talk.

Alison Rosse can be glimpsed here, getting a kick out of her conveyance from her front door to the festivities at the 2010 Irish Game & Country Fair on the Birr Castle grounds. #Ireland #Offaly #Birr #BirrCastle #BirrCastleDemesne #GameAndCountryFair
