Waterford

Ireland's oldest city, founded by Vikings in 914. A compact city center with the Viking Triangle, Reginald's Tower, museums, Georgian streets, and modern street art. Perfectly walkable and rich in landmarks, from historic towers to the awning of the Apple Market.

Coach House Coffee

Highlight • Cafe

Café in the historic Workhouse of Kilmacthomas, right on the Waterford Greenway. Known for hand-roasted coffee, local dishes, and a warm atmosphere. An ideal break point with views of the viaduct and direct access to the Greenway.
Coach House Coffee is located in the restored complex of the Kilmacthomas Famine Workhouse, built during the years of the Great Irish Famine (1845–1852).
Workhouses were large institutions where the very poor were housed under strict, often humiliating conditions. They were intended as a last resort: those who entered lost freedom, privacy, and often family ties.
The buildings consisted of dormitories, sick wards, work areas, and a "coach house" or outbuilding for transport and storage — precisely that part is today the café.
The site is thus a tangible reminder of the 19th-century social crisis.

Waterford Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A 46 km long greenway, built on an old railway line from Waterford. Dotted with bridges and viaducts, it offers beautiful panoramas and crosses diverse landscapes. It runs through Mount Congreve Gardens and runs along the Copper Coast at Ballyvoyle Cove before reaching the charming harbor of Dungarvan. The walk is safe because there are no cars. The journey is easier in an east-west direction (allow 4 hours cycling. If you contact the tourist offices in Waterford or Dungarvan, you can consider renting bicycles (see especially at waterfordgreenwaybikehire.com), returning by taxi and stopping along the way.
