Cycle along the Waterford Greenway
Waterford is famous for its incredible greenway, so it would be a shame to visit the eastern county without experiencing it. There are a number of spots along the greenway where you can rent a bike and explore Waterford’s incredible scenery, so grab a pal and start exploring!
The greenway itself is 46km in length, but there are a number of points along the way where you can start off if you don’t fancy cycling the whole distance. When it’s time for a break, there are plenty of scenic spots and interesting attractions along the way for you to stop off at and you can also grab a bite to eat along the way at a handy café located on the greenway.
Go back in time with some Irish history
As Ireland’s oldest city, it comes as no surprise that Waterford is steeped in interesting history.
In the city, a visit to Reginald’s Tower and embarking on the Epic Tour of the Viking Triangle will tell you everything you need to know about Waterford’s exciting Viking history, while the Waterford County Museum will give you a unique insight into the wider county’s interesting past.
Freedom is calling with Virgin Mobile is all about celebrating as we enjoy being more mobile and getting out there doing the things we love, reuniting with family and friends and enjoying new experiences across the country. For more information on Virgin Mobile see www.virginmobile.ie
