The small "humpback" stone bridge is a popular place for tourists to stop and view the beautiful County Wicklow scenery. There is a fun park and a trout fishery in the village with a 4-acre lake where one can fly or bait fish. A separate fishing pond especially for children allows them to catch elusive brown trout, the now extinct arctic char or rainbow trout.
