This is Phase 1 (6.3km) of the South East Greenway and the first part of the 24km route connecting New Ross To Waterford City. This traffic free route for walking and cycling will run along an old railway line connecting the quays of Ireland’s oldest Viking City of Waterford to the Norman town of New Ross in Co Wexford, along the banks of the beautiful Barrow River, through the scenic countryside of South Kilkenny. In future phases it will include historic elements such as the Red Bridge and old rail tunnel at Mount Elliot and will ultimately connect to the renowned Watreford Greenway extending from Waterford City to Dungarvan.
