This year got off to a promising start as Waterford Greenway added to its trophy cabinet when the 46km walking and cycling trail was named as winner of the ‘Best Visitor Attraction’ in the Irish Independent 2022 Reader Travel Awards. Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr Joe Kelly was delighted to accept the award recently.
“What’s particularly special about this award is that it was made on behalf of the Irish Independent readers who have visited Waterford Greenway.
“With their experiences so positive and their feedback so affirming, the Council’s Greenway team, local communities, and stakeholders can take great pride in what they have created in Waterford.”
