Sixmilebridge - Places of Interest

Places of Interest

A unique feature of Sixmilebridge is the highly decorated but functional "duck inn" on the O'Garney River, occupied by a thriving population of ducks. The duck inn is a floating raft with glass windows and painted walls. It houses the ducks during winter and is also where their locally consumed eggs are hatched and collected. It forms part of the tourist trail of Sixmilebridge.

Famous quotes containing the words places and/or interest:

    “All places were now become irksome to her. She found it impossible to fly from infamy, unless she could at the same time fly from herself.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    “My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times. The interest and the conversation are about costume and manners chiefly; but a goose is a goose still, dress it as you will.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
