Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Waterford

"This fortified Augustinian monastery is the best sort of ruin, where you can amble around whenever you like, with no tour guides, set hours or fees. Most days you stand a chance of exploring the site alone (apart from some nosy sheep); at dusk with a clear sky the old priory is simply beautiful. The ruins are 500m east of Kells on the Stoneyford road; from the car park, head to the right of the walls to find the main entrance."

"One of Ireland’s finest Cistercian ruins, Jerpoint Abbey was established in the 12th century, with the tower and cloister dating from the late-14th or early-15th century. It is famous for its unusually large number of medieval stone carvings – look for the series of unusual and often amusing figures, both human and animal, carved on the pillars around the cloister. The abbey enjoys a lovely rural setting about 2.5km southwest of Thomastown on the N9."

"Another timeless gem on O’Connell Street, Tully’s Bar has a traditional frontage and outdoor tables for resting your feet while sipping and supping. As well as liquid refreshment it has a fine menu of tasty dishes. Tully’s Bar does its own special label Growler bottles of beer (that’s around two pints) and whiskey miniatures (great for take-home gifts and souvenirs)."

"15/07/2021: I had to give a 1 star because this restaurant has closed and the telephone number is now being used by an Indian takeaway / restaurant located in the same place in High Street. We rang and booked a table here thinking it was an Italian restaurant."
