Along the Sea Cliffs to a Medieval Lighthouse
The County Waterford coast is quite as spectacular as any in Ireland. Tall sea cliffs hide wave sculpted coves which only locals visit.
Blue Flag Beaches Abound
Only 20 minutes from Clonea Holiday Resort stands the ancient village of Ardmore with its spectacular Round Tower and 10th century sculptures. Ardmore was a recent National Tidy Town winner and its huge bay of sandy beaches and cliff walks widely beckons.
By Hook or by Crook
A 45 minute drive along the coast road is Tramore - the premier beach resort in all of Southern Ireland. Then catch the ferry beneath the ancient castle at Passage East. A drive down the famed Hook Peninsula leads to Hook lighthouse - continually in operation since 1172.
When Oliver Cromwell invaded Ireland in the 1600's, he directed the fleet to land his men in the River Suir estuary, located between Hook peninsula and the village of Crook. Thus the famous expression.
The Comeragh mountains form a backdrop to Dungarvan Bay and Clonea Strand.
The high crags and cliff faces of the Comeraghs are most readily viewed along the well maintained walk to Mahon Falls. This mountainy rush of water is set amidst a glacial coum - a valley carved by ice during the last Ice Age. Sheep wander freely among the heathers and tumbled boulders and there is no better introduction to the wild lands of Ireland than this tumbling falls.
The Knockmealdown mountains are a cool delight, and the crisp hill air favours some of the most remarkable rhododendron blooms to be found anywhere. A spectacular view can be had from the heights. Mount Melleray Monastery is one famous attraction and another is the Vee drive which overlooks the green fields of County Tipperary.
Waterford Crystal
Waterford is the Crystal City and Waterford Crystal is justly famous for its beauty and superb craftsmanship. The plant offers tours where you can watch the glass being blown and cut. The hot furnaces where the glass is melted and the skills of the glass blowers and cutters are all on display. Afterwards comes a tour of the Showrooms which are a veritable museum of glass with dozens of unique and one of a kind crystal pieces. You can order and ship home any items in the huge range of products.
John F. Kennedy Park
20 minutes beyond Waterford is John F. Kennedy Park - Europe's finest arboretum . This several hundred acre tree garden is a gift of the American people to Ireland, and set beneath the wild hill where the entire countryside can be viewed are hundreds of special gardens devoted to trees and shrubs. The rockeries, lakes, tree maze, beech walks, birch gardens, model railroad, and hundreds of other nooks and crannies make this park a beauty spot without rival in Ireland. Amazingly, few are the tourists who know about it and visit.
Dromana Bridge in West Waterford
Dromana Bridge was just a pokey place to cross the Finish River until Lord Villiers Stuart married a high society bride in the mid-1800's. His tenants erected a fantastic Moorish castle made of paper maché over the bridge to greet the young bride. She was so delighted that Villiers-Stuart decided to make the bridge a permanent fixture, and this incredible vision still graces one of the country roads of West Waterford.
Cahir Castle and Swiss Cottage
Cahir, a one hour drive, is the home of two remarkable buildings that are part of the National Park system. The first is the Swiss Cottage, a style of building that was all the rage around the time of Marie Antoinette. Queen Marie, before she lost her head to the guillotine, loved to play at being a peasant, and the richest families in Europe followed suit. The Swiss Cottage is the best remaining example of these ornate "Peasant" palaces, an incredible example of the simple pleasures millions of pounds can buy. Also present in Cahir is an intact castle from the medieval period.
Rock of Cashel
The Rock of Cashel is a little over one hour's drive away. This was the seat of the Kings of Munster for more than a thousand years, and the ecclesiastical centre of southern Ireland for nearly as long. The Rock is a stupendous place. The whole is eye filling and a quite splendid climax to a tour of the nearby countryside.
