👍👍 The Waterford Greenway is an excellent path for walking and cycling, perfect for families. I took a 10km route, which became a 20km round trip, and used TFI cycle hire for my journey. I found this option to be the most cost-effective, with a rental fee of only 10.50 euros for 5 hours. Although the T...

👍👍 A perfect walk with a lovely scenery. Long way around - mostly on the side of the road, but all the way you're walking on the top of the cliff:)

👍 Good beach, close to copper coast drive which is gorgeous. If you are looking to relax this beach can get a few more people when the weather is good. It does have a decent walk along the beach here.

😠 At first glance it looks good - kids can play in playground while adults sit outside and enjoy their lunch. However it became apparent quickly that it isn't as pleasant as it seems. Firstly, everything is self service even though there are plenty of 'waiters' standing around doing nothing. So, you h...
