First time driving a rally car like this and it surpassed all expectations and hopes. Super staff, very friendly and helpful throughout the day. Great course and gives you a chance to experience something like no other. One of the best things I’ve ever done and will definitely be back for more. Can’t praise this highly enough.

Curraghmore House is the home to the 9th Marquis of Waterford and his family. This estate is Irelands largest private demense with over 2500 acres. Tours are now available through this historic home where visitors "step back in time " and enjoy the wonderful stories about the colourful characters that have lived on the estate. Hidden in the shrubbery near the main house,is the most enchanting Shell House,created by Catherine Countess of Tyrone in 1754. The grounds of Curraghmore House,were laid out by the first de la poer-Beresford Earl of Tyrone around 1750 and provide a splendid example of an eighteenth century romantic landscape ,with the house as its centrepiece. In front of the house is the garden in the French manner designed by Louisa,third Lady Waterford. It's formal terraces,with balustrades and statuary,overlook a man made lake. The present day Lord and Lady Waterford are country people by tradition. Farming ,hunting and breeding horses continues as it did centuries ago.

The town is a short walk away and we headed to 'Reginald's Tower', it is the last tower remaining from numerous incarnations of a fort that was here from the 10th Century. It is named after the Viking King 'Reginall or Reginald' who conquered this place and set up a Viking town in the late 900's. The tower is 3 storeys high and has sen a lot of history since then, including being used by 'Strongbow' (the leader of the Anglo-Norman invasion force) and visits by King John and King James II as well as serving time as a munitions store and prison. There are very interesting displays on all the floors.

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.
9. Mount Melleray Abbey

What can I say about Mount Melleray Abbey. Its a very special place and a big part of my childhood as I have fond memories of stopping there on a Sunday spin. If you are looking for peaceful solitude, you will find it here at the Abbey. I have stayed at the guesthouse many times, my last occasion-November, not long after my Wedding for some reflection time. It's a place where you can really feel the presence of God and of our Lady. The Monks cannot do enough for you and you will feel most welcomed as their guest - home cooked food, friendly cafe, nice little gift shop, and above all - the friendliest of people. I always feel right at home there and Mount Melleray holds a special piece of my heart. Want a retreat, time to reflect, and recharge? Look no further!
