The Walk Waterford Autumn Series organised by Waterford Sports Partnership kicks off this Sunday October 11th. There are five walks in the Series which will give people a chance to get out and get active whilst enjoying the beautiful Waterford countryside.
We are looking forward to the first walk in series on the newly developed Anne Valley Walk in Dunhill. Participants are asked to meet at 2pm in the car park nearest the log cabin. This is a lovely flat 4.4km walk which follows the Anne Valley River which flows through the Anne Valley and meanders past many beautiful ponds to reach Dunhill Castle 2.2km from the starting point. The walk is also a protected wildlife area and if you are lucky you may see some of the many protected wildlife species such as the Heron, Kingfisher, Otter and an amazing range of other fauna and flora. The newly developed path allows comfortable wheelchair and buggy access with no steep slopes. There are several bench seats along the walk where you can sit to relax and enjoy the peace of the valley while watching the wildlife.
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.
