History of the Waterford Greenway
The Waterford Greenway, a scenic 46-kilometre trail in County Waterford, Ireland, follows the route of the former Waterford to Mallow railway line, which operated from 1878 until its closure in 1987. Originally serving the region’s agricultural and fishing communities, the railway’s decline in the mid-20th century left the track unused for many years. In the early 21st century, plans to convert the disused railway into a greenway began, leading to its official opening on March 25, 2017.
Ride the Waterford Suir Valley Railway
Step back in time with the Waterford Suir Valley Railway, where the golden age of rail travel comes alive in Kilmeadan, Co. Waterford. This heritage narrow-gauge railway follows a picturesque 12km stretch of the old Waterford-Dungarvan railway line, starting from Kilmeadan Station and winding its way to Bilberry in Waterford City, alongside the scenic Waterford Greenway.
The 12km round trip lasts 40 minutes from Sunday to Friday, with an extended 50-minute journey on Saturdays. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in Waterford’s rich railway heritage.
