Discover the enchanting Anne Valley Walk, a trail perfect for family adventures and nature enthusiasts. Walk through woodlands, pass by Dunhill Castle and emerge onto Annestown Beach along County Waterford's Copper Coast.

The Anne Valley Walk is one of County Waterford's most scenic trails, stretching from Dunhill to Annestown. It offers a picturesque route through the Anne Valley, characterised by lush landscapes, tranquil paths and natural beauty.

The walk is popular amongst locals and visitors alike for its family friendly atmosphere and opportunities to explore nature at every turn. Keep your eyes peeled for swans and herons, and listen out for the otters that call the Anne Valley their home.

This wide, flat, multi access trail spans 4.5km, and is accessible for wheelchairs and buggies. Parking is available at the trailhead in Dunhill, at Dunhill Castle and at Annestown Beach.
