Waterford to feature in new 'Tracks & Trails' series

'Tracks & Trails' returns for a new season in early April as six presenters travel across trails in Ireland including County Waterford.

In the first episode, to be aired on Friday April 5th, crime journalist and podcaster Nicola Tallant takes on the challenge of the Comeragh Mountains and a leisurely walk in Dunmore East.

Nicola’s first adventure is the Boolas Loop in the Comeragh Mountains.

She then follows the cliff top trail starting out from Dunmore East, admiring Portally Cove, Rathmoylan Cove and Ballymacaw Cove along the way.

Johnny Brunnock, Trails Officer with Waterford City and County Council said, “We’re delighted that Waterford’s picturesque, diverse, challenging and invigorating trails are highlighted in the show.

“Nicola chose two very different walks.  The Boolas Loop is a rocky, steep loop that requires a little more gumption and fortitude to undertake, but the reward is breathtaking views of the Comeraghs, whereas the Dunmore East cliff walk is a more relaxed, wandering coastal trail starting at one of the prettiest coastal villages in Ireland and uncovering an exciting story of pirate trade from years ago.”
