Waterford has been named the top destination in Ireland by Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller, in a list of the must-see places to visit in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller is a long-running travel publications, known for unearthing hidden gems with the assistance of expert contributors from across the globe. The publication often shares round-ups of the best places to visit in certain countries, and The D\u00e9ise has topped their list of the 7 Wonders of Ireland for a second year in a row.<\/p>\n

The article<\/a>, written by Chief Sub-Editor for the publication Grainne McBride, offers a list of some lesser known parts of the country to explore, with Waterford’s Copper Coast and Greenway at the top.<\/p>\n

Just in time for summer, the article points to a number of beaches, calling them some of the “most beautiful, empty and underrated beaches in Ireland \u2013 from the sea caves of Tr\u00e1 na mB\u00f3 and the cake-layer cliffs of Stradbally Cove to the sublime swimming at Guillamene (for men only until the 1980s) and the family-friendly scoop of Kilmurrin”.<\/p>\n

The Greenway is a top destination, a 46km-long car-free path that stretches from Waterford City to D\u00fan Garbh\u00e1in (Dungarven), which is 10km away from An Rinn, the county’s Gaeltacht region. McBride suggests stopping off at Mount Congreve, a stunning Georgian estate near the River Suir, for an elegant pit stop as you pass through viaducts and over bridges.<\/p>\n

\"Waterford<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the list are breathtaking destinations including the Fermanagh Lakelands and the passage tombs of the Ancient East. <\/p>\n
