General presentation
Waterford et Copper Coast
Viking city, geological coast, lighthouses, beaches and green road between sea and countryside.

See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: short bathing season and scattered sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Historical tower
Reginald's Tower
Reginald's Tower anchor Waterford in a Viking and medieval history that is immediately perceived by its stone mass at the edge of the old streets. The visit is short but dense, especially if combined with the neighbouring historical district, where the distances reduced make the past very readable.
Coast
Copper Coast Geopark
Copper Coast Geopark offers a very cut-out coastline, with cliffs, coves, dark beaches and rocks that tell a geological history visible in the landscape. Access varies according to the sectors, but a few well-chosen stops suffice to feel the difference with the softer coasts of southeastern Ireland.
Phare
Hook Lighthouse
Hook Lighthouse It stands on a point beaten by the wind, in a landscape of low rocks, waves and open horizon. The lighthouse gives a very clear landmark to the coast, but the experience also comes from walking around the point, where the sea seems to be present on all sides.
