About This Book

A travel writer guides readers through the southern Irish province by sea, rail, and motor, recommending routes and describing landscapes, rivers, and towns. He contrasts the winding Blackwater and the broader Suir, sketches port and city scenes at Waterford and Youghal, and notes antiquities and houses such as Lismore and the Rock of Cashel. Mountain ranges—the Comeraghs, Knockmealdown, Slievenamon, and the Galtees—frame valleys, passes, and the Golden Vale, while historical asides and practical travel tips are woven into vivid landscape observation.
