If you're looking for something to do this weekend you might want to check out the new video of the Waterford Greenway before making any plans.
It is the longest off-road walking and cycling experience in the country.
The stunning Déise scenery plays a starring role in a new video celebrating the 46km trail that was officially launched on Saturday, 25th March.
The video, follows the adventures of 12-year-olds Patrick Brennan and Chloe Walsh, who set off from Waterford City and the coastal town of Dungarvan. The pair meet at Kilmacthomas, the half-way point on the Waterford Greenway.
Several famed Waterford natives appear throughout the video, including Ireland rugby captain Niamh Briggs, Fair City star Carrie Crowley, and celebrity chef Paul Flynn (and his dog, Sky).
Manager of Waterford senior hurlers, Derek McGrath also lends his support, along with coach Mark Cooney and players Kevin Moran, Ian O'Regan, Barry Coughlan, Austin Gleeson and Pauric Mahony.
Almost 200 people came together for the closing shot on the 50-metre high Kilmacthomas Viaduct, including performers and creations from Waterford performing arts theatre company, Spraoi.
Director of Services at Waterford City & County Council, Lar Power thanked those involved in the creation of the video. “This was a real community effort and showcases what Waterford Greenway has to offer. So many Waterford people have got behind the promotion of the Greenway and we appreciate that support,” he said.
“It’s vital that everyone in Waterford becomes an ambassador – not just for the Greenway, but for all of the wonderful attractions and activities that can be experienced in Waterford.”
