Best to do thhis on a sunny day to get the most out of it. To complete the hike up over and down takes around 3 and half hours, can be a bit dangerous bit of climbing involved would advise to bring proper hiking boots or runners. Also bring water and food with you. Once you reach the top the views are amazing if your bringing kids i would advise not to climb fully up over and down as concentration is required. U can bring kids to the lake there thou.

Visited this pub last Friday. On the main stretch beside the river. Went in as was advertising craft beers which attracted the husband. Stayed because not only did it have a great range of craft beers (which the barman offered to let him have a taste of before buying a full pint), but also had a good range of gins and other drinks. In addition the live music provided by The Sparrows was fantastic. This bar is small and felt snug and full of character, cushions were provided for those sitting on the church style benches near the back. A back room had a pool table. The atmosphere was great and the barmen couldnt have been any nicer or more welcoming. Am definitely going back for a visit. If you like your ales and old style hospitality with some good music (but not your modern techno), then this is definitely worth a visit. Great places to eat along this stretch so a great evening can be had all round.

Unfortunately, due to Covid lockdown, I was not able to visit the store in person. However the customer service I received was excellent and the scarf I bought is really beautiful. The Donegal yarn is perfect, colour as pictured (so many options!) and the shipping was very efficient. I am so delighted to have discovered Bébhínn's work and I look forward to the day when I can explore the shop - I don't doubt that all the products are stunning.

Waterford's oldest church and this is a must visit close to the Apple Market/Viking triangle. Fascinating history, grand structure and interesting architecture. A place of peace and beauty inside and please respect those who may be set in pray.
