Sie verlassen den Hafen Dunmore East und genießen auf der Fahrt nach Waterford teils spektakuläre Aussichten über die schöne Flusslandschaft. In Waterford angekommen, passieren Sie zunächst den größten öffentlichen Park, den über 6 ha großen People's Park. Ehemals war dies Sumpfland, das 1855 im Auftrag des damaligen Bürgermeisters trockengelegt und als Landschaftspark gestaltet wurde. Sie fahren die Hauptstraße "The Mall" entlang, passieren den Bishop's Palace (ein elegantes Stadthaus aus dem 18.Jh., in dem heute ein Museum untergebracht ist) sowie das namhafte House of Waterford Crystal, das seit seiner Gründung 1783 für seine hochwertigen Kristall- und Glaswaren geschätzt wird. Sie sehen den ehrwürdigen Reginald's Tower, das älteste Gebäude der Stadt mit wehrhaftem Mauerwerk, das heute ebenfalls ein Museum beherbergt. Waterford ist die älteste Stadt Irlands, von den Wikingern 914 gegründet, und es können noch zahlreiche Spuren ihrer Vergangenheit entdeckt werden. Sie fahren den Kai hinunter, ehemals als "edelster Kai in Europa" bezeichnet. Einst war hier ein florierender Hafen mit bedeutendem Weinimport, heute erinnert noch ein großer Kran an diese Zeit. Sie haben ein wenig Zeit zur freien Verfügung, um das als Viking Triangle bezeichnete Areal ("Wikingerdreieck") und seine historischen Gebäude individuell zu erkunden. Waterford ist umgeben von Bergen, Flüssen, Seen, und auf Ihrer Rückfahrt genießen Sie die herrliche Sicht auf den Zusammenfluss der drei Flüsse ("The Three Sisters") Barrow, Nore und Suir.

Dunmore East, Waterford Countryside, Curraghmore House, Keep, Courtyard, Victorian Mansion
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive through the beautiful countryside of Waterford en route to Curraghmore House, home of the 9th Marquis of Waterford. The house is a remarkable sight, with its architecture being part 12th-century and part 18th-century, with strong French lines. Unlike other grand houses of this period, the 1176 keep of the Le Poer family has been incorporated into the 18th century house. Of the many curious and interesting features of Curraghmore, the most striking is the courtyard front of the house, where the original Castle is encased in a spectacular Victorian mansion with flanking Georgian ranges.
Parterre, Tiered Lawns, Lake, Arboretum, Kitchen Gardens, Sitka Spruce, King John's Bridge
Formal parterre, tiered lawns, lake, arboretum, and kitchen gardens were all developed during the 19th century, and survive to this day. At this time, some of Ireland's most remarkable surviving trees were planted in the estate's arboretum. Today, these trees frame miles of beautiful river walks. A Sitka spruce overlooks King John's Bridge, and is one of the tallest trees in Ireland. King John's Bridge, a stone-arched structure built in 1205, spans the Clodagh River and is the oldest bridge in Ireland. Approximately 12 miles (about 19.3 kilometres) of famine relief boundary walls, and four sturdy wrought iron gates, surround the estate.

Indulge your senses with the magnificent beauty of the woodland gardens of Mount Congreve during this exclusive, half-day sightseeing excursion.
Dunmore East, Kilmeaden, Woodland Gardens of Mount Congreve
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 45-minute drive inland to the townland of Kilmeaden. Upon arrival, a visit is made to the woodland gardens of Mount Congreve, an 18th-century Georgian estate and mansion situated near the village of Kilmeaden in County Waterford, Ireland. The architect was John Roberts, a Waterford-based architect who subsequently designed and built most of the 18th-century public buildings in Waterford, including both cathedrals. The woodland gardens of Mount Congreve were founded on the inspiration, generosity and encouragement of Mr. Lionel N. de Rothschild. He became arguably the greatest landscaper of the 20th century, and one of the cleverest hybridists.
About Mount Congreve Estate & Gardens
The gardens were created by Mr. Ambrose Congreve with the well-recognised assistance of Mr. Herman Dool, who came from Holland to work at Mount Congreve. Mr. Dool's achievements at Mount Congreve were recognised by the Dutch government, and he was awarded one of the highest honours possible in Holland, an extraordinary event. Situated at a sheltered bend along the Suir River, this magnificent estate covers over approximately 700 hundred acres (about 283 hectares), approximately 100 acres (about 40 hectares) of which comprise the most fantastic gardens imaginable. Expertly-designed and tended by these two gentlemen for over 60 years, this garden not only has a remarkable collection of rare and unusual plants and trees, but the landscape is one of the very few that has been designed for an estate of this scale.
Guided Walking Tour, Magnificent Gardens
Mr. Dool has never put in less than 25 plants of a variety because, he believes, the mass planting makes the proper statement when the garden matures. The work started by Mr. Congreve continues to-date. The collection is still expanding steadily under the encyclopaedic knowledge of Curator Mr. Michael White (recipient of the Waley Medal from the Royal Horticultural Society of Great Britain) with new additions and our own programme of breeding to create new hybrids of rhododendrons and magnolias, among others. Enjoy a guided stroll through a portion of the many miles of these magnificent gardens, and indulge your senses with this magical piece of garden heaven. At the conclusion of your tour, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 45-minute drive back to the pier
