Bessbrook Pond

Bessbrook Pond covers 2 ha with 630 m of shore, 11.0 km south of Flurrybridge.

Getting to the water

A public road or path on the map comes within 4 m of the shore, along about 200 m of it, and there are 2 more stretches like it elsewhere on the shore. That is what the map contains. It is not a statement that the public may walk there, because OpenStreetMap does not record permission, and nobody has checked this lake against its owner.

Flurrybridge is the nearest settlement, 11.0 km south of the lake. Arriving in Flurrybridge is not arriving at the water, so the journeys below are worked out to the water and say so when they cannot reach it.

Where this comes from

The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records. Correct it there
What this site measured
The area and the shore are worked out from that outline. The stretches of shore a way reaches, the walk in from a car park and every distance on this page are worked out here, on this site’s own graph of the OpenStreetMap ways, last built on 2026-09-20. These are this site’s calculations, not the map’s, and a mistake in them is a mistake here.
