  • Chapter 10: Landscape, Coast/ Marine and Blue Green Infrastructure
    Chapter 10: Landscape, Coast/ Marine and Blue Green Infrastructure Strategic Objectives Protect our sensitive landscapes and seascapes which contribute to the distinctiveness of Waterford as a place and its people. Establish Blue Green Infrastructure as a key component in the planning process and promote the sustainable development of recreational trails that do not adversely impact landscapes and ecological integrity. 10.0 Landscape/ Seascape The European Landscape Convention (2000) promotes the protection, management and planning of all landscapes including, rural, peri-urban and degraded landscapes. Article 5 of the ELC urges recognition in law that landscape is an essential component of people’s surroundings, an expression of diversity of shared cultural and natural heritage, and a foundation of identity. The convention advocates the establishment and implementation of landscape policies aimed at landscape protection, management and planning, and urges the participation of the general public, and local and regional authorities in these policies. The management of Waterford’s landscape involves: Ensuring adequate protection to our most sensitive and vulnerable landscapes through appropriate policies and objectives. Providing for development that will enhance and benefit the receiving environment; and Protecting the landscape from inappropriate and unsustainable development; A Landscape and Seascape Character Assessment was prepared for Waterford City and County in 2020 (Figure 10.0 and Appendix 8) and identified seven landscape types; coastal landscapes, river corridor and estuary landscapes, farmed lowland landscapes, foothill landscapes, upland landscapes and urbanising landscapes. These landscapes are subject to varying forces for change and in turn have varying capacity to accommodate development that can impact on that particular landscape character.

  • Selected Day Walks 2006 National Waymarked Ways
    Selected Day Walks 2006 National Waymarked Ways NWWAC There are over 30 National Waymarked Ways located in different parts of Ireland today. These are multi-day walking trails that have been developed by local development groups and authorities with the agreement of landowners. They are waymarked with a yellow walking man logo and usually have a map or guidebook available for visiting walkers. This publication highlights a selection of 24 day walks from this network. These day walks have been short listed by a panel of experienced walkers and include walks along rugged coastlines, down canals and riverbanks, through forests and quiet mountain valleys, right across the country. They are generally located on lower ground, are suitable for most walking enthusiasts and are a great way of getting out and active in the Irish outdoors. The information provided on each day walk in this booklet is basic and only provides an overview. All distances given are approximate. If you are planning on taking on one of these walks, it is recommended that you purchase a copy of the relevant map/guide or Ordnance Survey Discovery map for the specific route on which the walk is located. OS maps are generally available in local tourist offices and bookshops. Guidebooks may sometimes be obtained locally, but can definitely be ordered from EastWest Mapping. You should not attempt any of these walks without the relevant Guidebook or Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 Discovery map. Map and guidebook publications may not always reflect the exact route marked on the ground, as they may not be up to date.
