Moone Bridge – Directions : Top of Beat 8.

From Moone Post Office go straight across the road between the pillars towards Moone Bridge.  This road goes over the Casteldermot/Carlow road (R448) and then downhill with a sharp left hand bend before a sharp right to the bridge.  It is about 700 metres from Moone Post Office to the Moone Bridge.  Turn left after the bridge into Belan Avenue.  440  metres on the left is a locked metal farm gate.
Access to the river is over this gate and straight ahead to the river.

Please note that it is wise to contact Simon Leopold (Land Owner) in advance (086 041 1163) via SMS as the family occaisionally shoots on the land.  Additionally the field is leased to Eugene Farrell (087 255 4826) who has cattle and the occasional bull in the field.  Please contact Eugene as well.

You are requested not to fish from Moone Bridge down to the end of the mill race and to respect the privacy of the family and friends.

Greese View House

From Moone Village drive down to Moone Bridge.  Across Moone Bridge turn left along Belan Avenue.
Drive for 2 km until you reach a set of houses.  Park on the verge in front of Greese View House.  The access gate is on the left past the houses.  Please contact Buddy and Evelyn on 087 239 4320 before you arrive to let them know that you will be fishing.  Follow the track down across the field to the river.
