The Pellipar Burn is a sort of lost or forgotten river in Dungiven Northern Ireland it is considered a drain eventhough its a river beacause most of the stormwater or sewage from the town run into the river in dry weather its more of a trickle but in wet condition or in the winter months it changes
dramatically it can gets very deep and loud. i do apologise for the crappy phone quality my good one broke the one i used to do the largantogher brook tunnel
anyways we start of on the garvagh road culvert with has a 6 foot concrete pipe tunnel that runs under it.

The Newbridge i believe that it once was a railway bridge and likely was.
