Waterford Camino Tours

My wife and I founded Waterford Camino Tours in April 2017 to give visitors to Waterford and alternative experience of this relatively undiscovered corner of Ireland. I've recently completed a PhD in Spirituality and love nothing more than to bring people on trails and cycles in the great outdoors here in southern Ireland and soak in the beauty and the stillness of the places we pass along the way

Comeragh Drive

Reviewed By DrJohnMS - Washington, United States

A single lane, one way loop drive up to Mahon Falls is worth the effort. The falls in the distance flows with vigor, and is an easy traverse up the side of the hill for those a little more adventurous. No facilities in the parking lot. Bountiful sheep roaming the countryside to keep you company with their excrement not too far behind so be wary where you walk. As you walk up, take time to look back at the valley below, and the Celtic Sea farther out. On a semi clear day like we had, it was a lovely view.
