Waterford - General Info
Description:
Founded in 853 by the Vikings, Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city. With its impressive medieval city walls, cobbled back streets and colourful waterfront, it is a delightful place to visit. It is also a busy commercial and fishing port.
It lies on the river Suir and is a useful place to stock up with supplies. The passage up the river is well buoyed and with wonderful scenery making the trip worthwhile. The river is navigable for a further 9 miles beyond the town, but take note of the clearances of the 2 bridges and power cables.
Position:
52° 14.30’N, 06° 57.73’W (river entrance)
