Local Roads  [duchas:4376778]

There are a few roads named in my district. The high road and barrack road, and Gleann a brow road. The reason it is called the high road is because it is very high up and if you want to go on that road you will have about a  mile of a hill before you reach it. It is a very old road. The reason it is called the barrack road is because there is a barrack on one side of it. The reason it is called Gleann a brow road is because on on part of it there is a stream running under it and the name of the stream is Gleann a bro.
There are not any old paths in my district.
