River Bride, County Cork
From Wikishire
The River Bride is a tributary of the Munster Blackwater in Ireland.
Rising in the Nagle Mountains, the Bride flows eastward, passing through counties of Cork and Waterford before joining the Blackwater, approximately three miles inland from Youghal Bay.
The poet Edmund Spenser is reputed to have written part of his poem the 'Faerie Queen' on the banks of the Bride in the Conna area. [1]
The villages of Rathcormac, Castlelyons, Conna and Tallow are to be found beside or near the river. The river runs through the Barony of Barrymore. The N72 road crosses the river at Tallowbridge, County Waterford.
