Waterford, as the ancient city of Ireland, owes much of its history to its estuary. This estuary was once a key entry point for initial Viking invaders. The city’s history is heavily influenced by the Norman and Cromwellian invasions, as well as events from both World War I and II. For a prolonged period, the Port of Waterford was an important hub in international shipping, and its history is rich with stories. Moreover, its river and estuary host a variety of biodiversity, with assorted plants, animals, and marine life.
