The Bridge of Tears is a stone bridge located near the towns of Dunfanaghy and Falcarragh, County Donegal.
Prior to the introduction of railways and modern roads, the bridge was used on the main route to Derry. The port at Derry was used by emigrants leaving to start a new life in countries such as Australia, Canada, England, Scotland and the United States. The bridge was the spot that the emigrants families would say goodbye. Due to the cost of travel, and the unlikeliness that the emigrants would return, their leaving was treated like a funeral.
