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.

Waterford Greenway is a spectacular 46 km off-road cycling and walking trail along an old railway line which runs between Waterford and Dungarvan. From the Viking City alongside the River Suir, out by Mount Congreve Gardens, through Kilmacthomas, across eleven bridges, over three impressive viaducts and through a 400m long tunnel; with wonderful views of the Comeragh Mountains and Dungarvan Bay.

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.

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!
6. Mahon Falls (a.k.a. Eas na Machan)

The road leading to Mahon Falls is typically Irish: you desperately hope you don't meet anyone coming down the road towards you because it's so narrow!! The view is literally enough to turn an atheist agnostic. The Comeragh mountain tops are so high that the iuds were hiding them. There isn't a photograph that can do justice to the beauty and peace of the area. Some facts: 1) There is structured, free parking for visitors 2) Entry is free 3) It's in the mode of nowhere, so there's no toilets at the place 4) The pathway from the parking to the falls is longish, and very well maintained. Mostly wheelchair accessible 5) You can walk up the side of the falls too if you're fit and adventurous enough 6) There are lots of goats, and they leave lots of droppings all over the pathway 7) There's a bit of litter around as there're no dustbins anywhere. So if you're the litter pick up types, remember your picker, gloves and rubbish bag (to help people who's mammy didn't raise them right)

On a sunny day this is a very pleasant walk. Spectacular scenery. You can do a circular walk or double walk and get a second look at the amazing scenery. Loved this village.
