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.

What Is Axe Throwing? Think of it as darts but with an axe! We think it’s one of the most exciting and fun activities that you can do. Did we mention how satisfying hitting a bullseye is! You’ll be slinging axes side by side against your friends or colleagues, hitting bullseyes and cheering on your mates. All backed up with great music and atmosphere and a chance to socialise between throws.
Wow what an experience. The craic was mighty here & such a different outing for everyone. Couldn't recommend this place any higher, the host (Mark) has the right attitude with professionalism & banter to tailor to any kind of customer. Can't wait to head back to throw another few axes, thanks for having us Mark :D

The magnificent curved facade of the warm butter-coloured stone building draws in the visitor. The eye-catching giant sculpture on the gable was inspired by a tiny 13th century belt mount found in Waterford. It is Ireland’s only purpose-built medieval museum and the only building on the island to incorporate two medieval chambers, the 13th century Choristers’ Hall and the 15th century Mayor’s Wine Vault. Don't miss the stunning Heavens' Embroidered Cloths, Waterford's cloth-of-gold 15th century vestments, the only piece of clothing from King Henry VIII's reign to survive in the world - the 'Cap of Maintenance' and the Great Charter Roll from 1373, containing the earliest contemporary portrait of a medieval English king (Edward III) shown to Queen Elizabeth on her 2011 state visit to Ireland. These and many more unique artefacts await you on your guided tour of the award wining Medieval Museum.
When I arrived here around opening time yesterday, their early guided tours were fully booked with cruise ship passengers. Having read recent reviews here and some replies from staff, I thought coming back when they had space on a tour would be best. So I bought a combination ticket with Bishop's Palace, they called over there to confirm I'd be able to take a guided tour there in a few minutes, and I headed next door. I came back here for a guided tour about 90 minutes later. My tour guide, Liam, was fantastic — funny, interesting, and a great storyteller. The tour lasted about 40-45 minutes. I stayed on my own afterwards (as you are welcome to do) watching the introductory films (there is a 10-minute one on the second floor and a 15-minute one on the first floor) and viewing the objects we'd skipped on the highlights tour. As an historical researcher, I was personally especially fascinated by the unique Great Charter of Waterford and the medieval book of civic records of Waterford (both of which we viewed on the guided tour). While I was looking around on my own, a couple more guided tours cane through with different guides. Each guide seems to have their own style. Highly recommended for those interested in Irish history and/or medieval history.
