Pedestrian and cyclist entrance to Tipperary Lane
The path here has been raised to stop flood water from flowing into Bryansford Road. The parallel vehicle entrance is safeguarded with a steel flood gate. In the event of a flood, water will be trapped in Tipperary Wood.
The Shimna Flood Alleviation Scheme

This 5.5 million NI Government Scheme is designed to alleviate the periodic flooding incidents in the basins of the Shimna and Tullybranigan Rivers. A similar scheme on the Burren, a tributary of the Shimna, was successfully completed almost two decades ago. The work is undertaken by the Ballynahinch company of Dawson Wam, a leading firm in this field.
