We held our first walk in our Walk Waterford Autumn Series on Sunday on the newly developed Anne Valley Walk in Dunhill. Fifty three people of all ages turned out on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon to enjoy this lovely flat 4.4km walk which follows the Anne Valley River which flows through the valley and meanders past many beautiful ponds to reach Dunhill Castle 2.2km from the starting point.
Waterford Sports Partnership hosts the second walk in the series on Sunday 18th October along the popular Dungarvan Railway Track at 2pm. The meeting point for the walk is at the free public car park, just opposite the Park Hotel roundabout. This walk which is unique to Waterford has been developed on the old Railway track, is mostly off road and is predominately flat making it perfect for all levels and abilities. It is well used by locals by foot and by bike and is easy to find for those not from Dungarvan. The full trail is 12km, for Sundays walk we will complete nearly 5km making it perfect for those looking for a leisurely stroll.
Walkers will need suitable walking shoes (runners are ideal), warm clothing and a waterproof jacket. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
