Tramore is a seaside town in County Waterford on the southeast coast of Ireland. A small fishing village until the arrival of the railway in 1853, the town has continually expanded since. Initially the town flourished as a tourist destination and it has developed as a seaside satellite town of Waterford City, which is 13 km to the north. Tramore has a bus service which runs daily from 06:30 to 23:45 to Waterford City.
The scenic landscape of Tramore, represented by the strand and cliffs, attracts many. Walks in the locality include the Doneraile Walk, Cliff Road Walk, as well as the 5 km Strand walk.
Waterford is Ireland’s oldest city and was founded by the Vikings in the 9th century. Waterford is located in the south east of Ireland on the estuary of the river Suir. It is located 170km south of Dublin and 130km east of Cork.
The county colours are blue and white and the county is often referred to as The Deise (pronounced “day-sha”). The term comes from a tribe of native Gaelic people called the Déisi which populated the area between the 4th and 8th centuries. Waterford is renowned for its crystal which has been produced in the city since 1783 and is also the site where the Irish national flag was first flown.
