Juggy's Bridge, Cottage Wood, Florence Court, Co Fermanagh

Juggy's Bridge is a rustic stone bridge spanning the Finglass River, built in the late 18th century (probably the 1780s) as part of an ornamental landscape scheme at Florence Court. The bridge provides access to Cottage Wood from the old nursery and ornamental area.

The bridge is constructed in the grotesque or 'grotto' style, a unique example of its kind in Northern Ireland, with only a few parallels elsewhere in Ireland. It measures 4.40 metres in width with a span of 3.20 metres, springing from abutments 1.10 metres high. The barrel vault rises to a height of 1.65 metres above the stream bed. The bridge's most distinctive feature is the treatment of its soffit at each end, where for a length of approximately 50 centimetres the neat stone vaulting is broken by irregularly projecting 'grotto-like' stones set at different angles, creating a deliberately rustic effect. The top of the structure is defined on each side by a single course of parapet stones.

The bridge formed part of a complex ornamental scheme within the woods that included the world-famous original Irish yew (Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata'), found circa 1760, situated approximately 10 metres to the east. Further to the west lay a thatched 'Cane Cottage' (an ornamental Swiss-style cottage) and a megalithic folly. An open lawn known as 'Juggy's Meadow' formerly separated the bridge from the cottage, with a path running along the west bank of the river and across the meadow to the cottage. The bridge would have been a prominent feature of this late 18th-century ornamental landscape, though it is now heavily overgrown and largely invisible.

The bridge can be compared structurally with similar grotesque bridges at Luggala in County Wicklow, Danesmote in County Dublin, Arch Hall in County Meath, and the larger 'Fairy Bridge' at Rockingham in County Roscommon, which sits on the edge of Lough Key.
