Waterford Sports Partnership kicked off the Autumn Series of walks on Sunday morning 21st September, in Kilbarry Nature Park, fourteen leisure walkers attended the 1.8km walk
The Park is situated on the Tramore Road near Superquinn, the car park entrance is via the Kingfisher Club. On Sunday we where spoiled for choice as the park boasts four different trails. As a group we decided to mix and match the trails as they are all interlinked to make sure we enjoyed a leisurely but invigorating stroll of at least 45 minutes. There are many features and highlights in this fully accessible amenity, viewing points, picnic areas, distance markers and biodiversity information boards to name a few.
A special thank you must go to our volunteer on the day, Maria, who assisted WSP in leading this walk. Well done to everybody for taking part on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning.
The next walk takes place next Sunday 28th September in partnership with Stradbally Tidy Towns as part of the Irish Heart Foundation Happy Hearts Day along the Stradbally Sli na Slainte Route. The meeting point is in the square opposite the shop in Stradbally Village at 11am.
This is an easy looped 4.6km walk with spectacular views such as the magnificent Comeragh Mountains and Hook Head lighthouse on a clear day. All walkers will need suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal), warm clothing and a waterproof jacket. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
