Fishing Spots in Waterford Irish shore angling is among the best in Europe. You can fish from the banks of rivers and streams, the shorelines of lakes and ponds, and in the surf on the coast. Shore Angling is one of the most popular forms of sport. It can be divided into three forms; beach, rock or pier. Beach anglers most often seek bass, ray or flounder, while rock anglers look for pollack, wrasse, mackerel or ray. If you prefer pier fishing the fish you most likely to catch is mullet, dogfish, ray or flounder. There is no close season for sea fishing in Ireland so it may be practiced all year round. Fish which feed throughout the year, such as cod, coalfish or flounder can be fished for each month while species such as wrasse, pollack and dogfish have a natural season extending from April until October.

Hill Walking in Bunmahon Stroll along the Inland Trail and take in the amazing views of Bunmahon Bay and the green landscape of this quite and quaint little coastal village. Inland Trail Begin your walk at the Bunmahon beach car park and take the first left uphill about 1km to an open mine shaft and a further kilometre to a narrow road and continue on down this to the bottom of the valley. Before crossing the stream, the scant remains of a medieval Cistercian monastery lie on the right and ahead and the tiny Fauheen Church with its interesting graveyard. From here continue uphill on the other side of the valley onto a tarred road and turn right. Travel down the hill and at the Catholic Church which was formerly the miners' Temperance Hall, you can turn right back to the starting point or straight on to the village of Bunmahon. Enjoy the beautiful coastal views as you stroll along the Coastal Mining trail of Bunmahon and while on the way take in the steep mining history that you will learn along the way. Coastal Mining Trail Begin your walk at the Bunmahon beach car park. Beyond the car park you will come to Bunmahon Bridge, which is reputed to be the first reinforced concrete bridge in Ireland in 1906 and from here continue eastwards. Follow this road, around the remains of the Dressing Yards, which was where the crushing of the ore took place. Turn right at the crossroads and go uphill to the Slip. A little detour to the right here allows you to view mine openings on the cliff as well as some Copper Staining. Back on the road; pass the copper storage yard and then up-hill to see the main abandoned Mineshafts at Knockmahon on the right. From here continue on past the railway ramp. The ruins of Tankardstown Engine Houses and Chimney come into view gradually, up the hill and on the left, with the Railway cutting on the right. From here you can return the same way or you can follow the coast road and take the first left which takes you along a quiet meandering country road to crossroads. Take the first left again and head down a valley returning back to the starting point. |
