County Waterford has some of the most beautiful (and varied) scenery in Ireland. Much of the north and centre of the county is mountainous, including the Comeragh range with its stunning lakes. The Waterford coastline is a series of rugged cliffs and sand-fringed bays, where you'll find many attractive seaside resorts - Tramore being the most well known.
The Blackwater valley, with its flanking hills and numerous wooded stretches, provides the finest river scenery in Ireland. The picturesque town of Lismore, through which the Blackwater flows, is beautifully situated at the foot of the Knockmealdown Mountains. The charming fishing village of Dunmore East is well worth a visit.
Most famous as the home of Waterford Crystal, Waterford is a small friendly city filled with things to see and do. Dating back to Viking times, Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city.
Its impressive medieval city walls, cobbled back streets and colourful waterfront give Waterford a charming feel. Visit Reginald’s Tower, Irelands most historic urban monument, which has stood on its Waterford Quay site for more than a thousand years.
