Waterford is Irelland’s oldest city and is home to a treasure trove of historical landmarks. Its estuary played a pivotal role and acted as the gateway for the early Viking settlers. Norman and Cromwellian conquests feature heavily in local history, as do events from both WW1 and WW2. The port of Waterford was a significant international port for many years and there is a wealth of history waiting to be discovered. The river and estuary are also vibrant biodiversity habitats with a range of flora, fauna, and aquatic life.
