Belated walks summary


The February Walk was along Dungarvan Bay on Sunday February 16th. The walk leader was Waterford IWT's resident field ecologist, Denis Cullen.     The walk took in part of the converted rail bed. There was lots of historical and wildlife interest.


The January walk on January 19th was to Woodstown.
Thanks to Denis Cullen for the photos.


March walk to Cheekpoint



The March Walk takes place on Sunday March 16th
The varied terrain and habitats of Coolbunnia is the theme of the March walk.  This 2½ hour walk takes us from the river village of Cheekpoint along the shore of Waterford Harbour and up through the mixed woodlands of Coolbunnia and back to Cheekpoint.   Although the climb from the shore in Coolbunnia is long it is reasonably gentle.   This is a family friendly walk with much of interest for all.  Dogs on lead please.   Date:  Sunday March 16.   Meeting point is Cheekpoint Quay at 2.30 pm.   Parking nearby.
