Kilmacthomas Viaduct on the Waterford Greenway

The Waterford Greenway, also known locally as the Déise Greenway, is a Rail trail in County Waterford used for cycling and hiking. It opened on March 2017, on what was originally the Mallow/Waterford railway line.

The Waterford Greenway features 11 bridges, three viaducts and a 450-yard tunnel and runs between the City of Waterford, Mount Congreve, Kilmeaden, Kilmacthomas, and Dungarvan, and passes along part of the Copper Coast. At 28½ miles, it is Ireland's longest greenway.[1]

In December 2017, it was announced that over 250,000 had used the new route since it opened in March.[2]
