The Waterford Greenway has been a roaring success since it was opened and now the Mecca for cyclists and walkers has been voted ‘Ireland’s Best Visitor Attraction’.
The 46km greenway, which takes in old railway stations, crosses bridges and viaducts and hugs the coast for spectacular views came out on top in a vote by readers of the Irish Independent.
It came out on top ahead of the Cliffs of Moher in Co Clare and the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, which is the most visited attraction in the country.

Mayor of Waterford City and County, Cllr Joe Kelly, said he was delighted the greenway had come out on top after a public vote.
“It’s a much loved amenity here in Waterford and the South East, but it is wonderful to see how much an impression Waterford Greenway has made throughout the country," he said.
"It is a visitor attraction that has grown and developed due to the dedication, vision and commitment of Waterford City and County Council’s Greenway team, the local communities and stakeholders.”
