Lismore Castle Gardens

Spread over seven acres, the historic gardens at Lismore Castle in County Waterford are divided into two very distinct and different halves. The upper garden is a complete example of the 17th century walled garden first constructed here by Richard Boyle, the First Earl of Cork, in about 1605. The outer walls and terraces remain and the plantings have changed to match the tastes of those living within the castle.  The lower garden was mostly created in the 19th century for the Sixth Duke of Devonshire, Joseph Paxton’s patron. This garden is informal with shrubs, trees and lawns while the stately yew avenue is much older.

Copper Coast Geopark

A 25 kilometre stretch of spectacular coastline consisting of scalloped beaches andcoves enclosed by rocky headlands, The Copper Coast gets its name from the 19th century copper mines hidden below ground. Now a UNESCO Global Geopark, the park extends along the Waterford coastline from Fenor in the east to Stradbally in the west and up to Dunhill in the north. Take the audio tour around Annestown, or trail cards can be printed or downloaded to your phone for self-guided tours of Annestown, Boatstrand, Bunmahon, Dunhill, Fenor and Stradbally. Trails can be followed by motorists, cyclists or for the more energetic, on foot. 

Waterford Greenway

The longest off-road walking and cycling route in Ireland, the Waterford Greenway runs from the city, along the scenic route of an old railway line, to Dungarvan, a pretty quay-side town. Bike or walk a section, or the full 46km if you’re feeling energetic and you’ll be rewarded with scenic picnic spots, hidden history, towering viaducts and even a vast tunnel. Soak up the views, stopping off for refreshments along the way, until you reach the panorama of Dungarvan Bay.
