Cycling on the Deise Greenway
The Deise Greenway is a redevelopment of the Waterford to Dungarvan railway as a greenway for use by walkers, cyclists and runners. It’s easily accessible from Carrick on Suir and is a great way to see a big slice of Ireland’s South East.
“County Waterford, Ireland, is known locally as “An Déise” in Gaeilge. Sometime between the 4th and 8th centuries AD, a tribe of native Gaelic people called the Déisi were driven from the southern parts of the country, conquering and settling here. The ancient principality of the Déise is today roughly coterminous with the current Diocese of Waterford and Lismore” Source: deise.com
