"Cahir's awesome castle enjoys a river-island site with moat, massive walls, turrets and keep, mullioned windows, vast fireplaces and dungeons. Founded by Conor O'Brien in 1142, and passed to the Butler family in 1375, it's one of Ireland's largest castles. In 1599 the Earl of Essex shattered its walls with cannon fire, an event explained with a large model. With a huge set of antlers pinned to its white walls, the Banqueting Hall is an impressive sight; you can also climb the Keep."

"Located just a little west of the mouth of the River Blackwater, this sandy beach is within walking distance of the town of Youghal, a designated Irish Heritage Town. The beach joins up with Claycastle and Redbarn beaches to create a 3 mile stretch. It’s perfectly designed for going for a long walk."

"This laid-back pub in Waterford is a family-run establishment. In operation since 1759, it is safe to say this is truly a local’s spot with an all-welcome policy. Seeing as it is a slight bit off the beaten track, visitors can expect a more low-key vibe while friends challenge each other over games of snooker and couples cosy up in intimate snugs."

"Established in 1759, the walls of Henry Downes & Co. could tell a few tales!. This unique pub is one of the few remaining that bottle their own whiskey. It’s a little off-the-beaten-path on Thomas Street (behind Dooley’s Hotel on the Quay)."

"Opened in 1797, this is considered to be Waterford’s best pub. Even though there are no amenities, the pub appeals to people of all ages with different tastes. Whether they are into theater, hip hop, or Jazz, Downes is a popular highlight."

"The Parlour promises Tea Rooms with a twist, and that’s just what this Art Deco-inspired café has to offer. Located in the historic Port of Waterford building right by the water, there are several experiences. Coffee addicts will find their niche in the Chamber of Coffee which takes artisan coffee-making to a whole new level."
