Waterford Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

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 harbor 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 bicycles (see especially at waterfordgreenwaybikehire.com), returning by taxi and stopping along the way.
