Waterford gained its notoriety in the eighth century when the Vikings settled on a site known as Port Láirge (Irish for Waterford), but soon changed it to Vadrafjord. The last ten years has seen the city undergo great change where it has become the shopping and tourism capital of the south-east.

Dunmore East is a very picturesque fishing village, which can be reached by taking the N25 out of Waterford City and heading towards Tramore. Dunmore in Irish means ‘Big Fort’. Among Dunmore's attractions are the Adventure Centre at Stoney Cove, and the several gourmet restaurants in the area which serve freshly caught fish.

Dunhill is situated off the R675 on the coast at Annestown, County Waterford. The town's name is derived from the Irish translation of ‘The fort of the rock.’ The ruins of Dunhill castle, which was destroyed by Cromwell in 1649, lie nearby.

Tramore, situated 10 Miles from Waterford City and 35 miles from Dungarvan, is one of Ireland's most popular seaside resorts. The town, which has an off season population of approximately 6000 people, was home to the famous sculptor John Edward Carey. Attractions include the town's wonderful sandy beaches, and its indoor arcades and amusements.
