The Barrow Way follows one of Ireland’s historic waterways, forming a link between the Grand Canal from Dublin and the tidal reaches of Waterford Harbour. Once a vital trade route connecting the capital to the south coast, it now offers a more peaceful and meditative riverside walk. The easy-going trail traces a route along the towpaths once trodden by barge horses. Along the way, you’ll encounter open countryside, quiet villages, and lively towns rich in heritage.
