Criostal na Rinne

From our small, family-run workshop in An Rinn, Co. Waterford, we craft precise hand cut crystal products for discerning customers around the world. The products we make are stories made physical. More than just useful objects, they create meaningful connection with our rich culture, history, nature and language. Criostal na Rinne is situated on the coast of west Waterford in Ireland’s Ancient East, near the Waterford Greenway. We are nestled a short distance from historic towns and villages such as Lismore, Dungarvan, Ardmore and Youghal. We are located just 8km off the N25 between Dungarvan and Cork near the R674 to An Rinn and Ceann Heilbhic. Visit Criostal na Rinne to experience the craft of crystal cut by hand, a skill that the area is noted for. Eamonn gives free tours and demonstrations both individually and to groups, showing the techniques of a master craftsman and explaining the history of glassmaking in the area stretching back hundreds of years to the present day.

We were told of this small crystal shop by a couple at our B&B. It is amazing. The master craftsman and owner spent hours with us showing us how he creates masterpieces. In fact, he is the one who was selected to provide the Irish Bowl gift from Ireland to President Trump when he was elected president. I highly recommend spending some time talking to Eamonn Terry. He is a true Irishman and artist. He made custom Christmas ornaments and a frame for my husband displaying his police badge. I feel honored to have met him and to own a few pieces of his work.

What can we say?!? A truly magical experience. Willie is so informative and passionate about his birds. He talked us through the whole process and made sure each of us was comfortable and all of the access that we wanted to the birds that day. We held owls, flew a Harris Hawk outdoors, and learned a lot about their care. It was a once in a lifetime experience!

Coumshingaun Lough

Reviewed By gaffneym

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.
