Places of Beauty in the South East

lassykk

Hi

I was wracking my brains trying to think of the nicest places to go in the south east for nice scenery or just natural beauty and was wondering if people have any suggestions... not looking for anything outside of about 20-30 miles from waterford.. the ones i could think of were:

- The copper coast
- The Comeragh's
- Kilkenny Castle
- Hook Lighthouse
- Kennedy Park (Not sure if that's all that nice but I know its down there)
- Anywhere in Ring

I'm sure there are so many more I can't think of so please inspire me

Cabaal

- Slievenamon in Co Tipp
- Kells Castles, Co Kilkenny (ruins of a old walled abbey with 7 towers)

The Minaun (sp??)

There's also an area just before Passage East (coming from Woodstown direction) which is up high and has a great view down of the Suir Estuary.

The climb out of Dungarvan towards Youghal has a great view of the bay

Kennedy Park is a fantastic spot, it has a fantastic outer perimeter walk which I recommend. I go there regularly. The place is well kept and is a huge tourist attraction.

St Mullins is another place worth visiting which is about 10 mins outside New Ross.
You can even go kayaking if you feel up to it

Also take a spin on the Waterford Suir valley Heritage Train

I've heard the summer evening specials are really good on nice days.

Mahon falls, especially now after all the rain.

Nice to see my hometown, Inistioge being mentioned. One full day of walks and scenery to indulge in there.

Kilsheelan river walk. Does anyone know if you can walk up Slivenamon?

As mentioned St Mullins is loverly spot for a river side walk.

Mossy Monk

The top of Cruachán has an amazing view. I'd recommend that to anyone

Yep! Go up to Kilcash from the main Clonmel Kilkenny road (N76 I think) and follow the signposts...

For scenery
-ardmore
-dunmore

For a nice coastal town
-dungarvan. Nice to have lunch in moorings on the harbour.

For castle and nice small town
- lismore.

The coastal drive between dungarvan and tramore is gorgeous(think thats the copper coast!)

Sully

Copper Coast is a lovely drive.

I think Tramore beach/promenade and Newtown Cove are lovely places when the weathers good. Or Doneraile Walk.

Spend a morning in Dunmore. Walking in the woods down to the harbour, ice cream and coffee, then back along via the park down to the beach.

Tramore and environs, fish and chips looking at the sea.

Annestown, Garrarus, Woodstown - any of the beaches on a quiet day.

Kennedy Park plus the big hill - Slievecoillte is it? - amazing view on a clear day.

Over on the ferry to Hook head.

I work in Slough in the UK - an absolute sh1thole. It's only the thought of these places at the weekend that keeps me going.

I reckon Van Morrison's Coney Island could be reworded with all that

Lismore has had a few mentions.
A walk up to the towers is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Curraghmore estate in portlaw seat of lord & lady waterford, has fantastic walks, and the shell house is worth a mention, its not open to the public on sundays but every other day it is. (it has the second tallest tree in ireland, usta be the tallest till sonthing else passed it out!)
