Cycling
A 46 km long greenway, built on an old railway line from Waterford. Dotted with bridges and viaducts, it offers beautiful panoramas and crosses diverse landscapes. It runs through Mount Congreve Gardens and runs along the Copper Coast at Ballyvoyle Cove before reaching the charming harbour of Dungarvan. The walk is safe because there are no cars. The journey is easier in an east-west direction (allow 4 hours cycling. If you contact the tourist offices in Waterford or Dungarvan, you can consider renting bikes (see especially at waterfordgreenwaybikehire.com), returning by taxi and stopping along the way.

Cycling
In 2017, a total of 46km of cycling and walking trails opened up, which is only permitted for non-motorized traffic. As the Greenway follows a former railway line, there are hardly any gradients. All paved and frequented on weekends by families and occasional cyclists. In many places on the track you can rent bikes and use the shuttle bus. There are good rest stops on about half the distance in Kilmacthomas. Scenic pretty, only the short distance between Mount Congreve and Waterford leads along a busy national road and is a bit idle.
