The Wishing Bridge is located between Coosaun Lough and Black Lake in the famous "Gap of Dunloe" and gets its name because it was said that wishes made while standing on the bridge will come true.
There is also a lovely small bridge just above it. You can drive to the bridge, but the road is quite narrow. Many visitors walk, cycle or take a horse and trap ride through "The Gap" so as to enjoy the true splendour of this beautiful location.
The Gap of Dunloe is approximately eleven kilometers in length, or about seven miles, and goes from Kate Kearney's Cottage to the Head of the Gap. It is one of Kerry's foremost tourist attractions and if you visit you will soon see why. It's flanked by two mountain ranges -- MacGillycuddy's Reeks and the Purple Mountains.
The cache is hidden near the bridge, not on the bridge! This is number #4 in my Bridges of Kerry County Series. Please make a wish on the bridge ..... it may come true! You may also wish to take your photo and post it when you log your find. Best Wishes!!
