Waterford City Centre Ireland 4K 60 Walking Tour 2024

A 4K 60 FPS Walking Tour of Waterford City Centre, Ireland filmed in May 2024.

Lets go for a walk in the historic City of Waterford in the south east of Ireland and explore it's medieval streets and Viking heritage.

On the banks of the River Suir in the southeast of Ireland you will find Waterford City, a place brimming with Viking and Medieval History. Reputed to be the oldest city in Ireland it was settled by Viking Raiders as early as 853 AD. The name Waterford comes from an old Viking word meaning either Fjord of the Rams or possibly Haven From The Windswept Sea. Today’s walking tour will explore the medieval streets, historic buildings and visitor attractions of the city centre. The Viking Triangle contains a 40ft replica of a Viking Longboat constructed of Irish Oak, Reginalds Tower (one of the oldest buildings in Ireland) and a 23 metre Viking Sword called the Dragon Slayer that was carved from a single tree from the woods of Ballinamona.

Keep an eye out of the Sculpture of Strongbow & Aoife outside The Bishop’s Palace that represents one of the most significant moments in Ireland's tumultuous history. Strongbow otherwise known as Richard De Clare laid siege to Waterford in August 1170 with 200 knights and 1000 infantry. His victory and marriage to Aoife MacMurrough, Daughter of the King of Leinster immediately after the battle opened a flood gate of Norman invasions and signified the end of the Gaelic Kingdoms of Ireland.
