Waterford Greenway Cycle

We are so proud of our hometown! As documented by the Irish Examiner, the spin off success of the Waterford Greenway Cycle path has seen local Dungarvan and West Waterford businesses boom! The owner of the bicycle hire service in Kilmacthomas says that, even with his 300 bikes, from electrical to child and adult bikes, customers now need to book in advance because more and more tourists come every day.

After less than one season in business, the Waterford Greenway Bike Hire has already hired 10 full-time staff and offers a free shuttle bus for people to and from the end points of Waterford city and Dungarvan.

“We can see ourselves having to take more people on. It’s just unbelievable,” says the spokesman. It is not just bike companies that are doing well but pubs and cafes too.

Kiersey’s Bar and Tea Room in Kilmacthomas has seen its business “multiply two and a half times.”

Fantastic to see such positive headlines in the Irish Examiner about our fabulous little corner of the world!
