Cloydagh Church

C-Shore

Hello,

Hopefully someone can help me because I'm not very familiar with Carlow in terms of getting around.

I'm looking to go to Cloydagh Church today but I can't find it listed anywhere for a location.

Would anyone happen to be able to give me a link to it on Google Maps, or an exact address? I can't find the road that it's on even.

I'd really appreciate any help, thanks.

Any idea of where it is near? Townland or area?

Try Clogrennan church!

CLOYDAGH, or CLODY, also called CLOGRENNAN, a parish, partly in the barony of Slieumargy, Queen's county, and partly in the barony of Carlow, but chiefly in that of Idrone West, county of Carlow, and province of Leinster, on the river Barrow, which is navigable to Waterford, 2 miles (S. W. by S.) from Carlow on the road to Leighlin-Bridge; containing 1422 inhabitants, and comprising 4737 statute acres, of which 290 are woodland, and 324 bog; the remainder is arable and pasture; 3764 acres are applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £3774 per annum. The state of agriculture is very good. Limestone abounds, and is applied both as manure and for building: there are limekilns on a large scale, the produce of which is chiefly conveyed into the counties of Wicklow and Wexford. Coal also abounds, and is worked extensively. Sessions are held quarterly at Milford. Here are extensive corn-mills and malt-kilns, in which about 100 persons are employed.

I was told it's 3km from Crockaun but I can't even find that on the map. Do I have the spelling wrong?

Hope this is it?

Thank you all so much, you've been really helpful.

Now that I see it on the map, the original directions I was told somewhat make sense.

I have the coordinates now and know where I'm going.

Thanks for all the help.
I had seen some posts about the building itself and knew I was on the right track, but just couldn't get the actual location.
Even with some of the addresses listed on the sites I couldn't get results on Google Maps.

If there's ever anything you need to find in Dublin, I'd gladly help you find it.
