Loads of places here, if you have access to a car your laughing. Two mountain ranges, spectacular lakes, fantastic coastline, loads of villages etc. The city can also throw up some very interesting bits and bobs from an abstract point of view.
There are a fair few boards photographers from Waterford too so there should be no shortage of people to give you a guided tour.
Me and Fajitas meet up from time to time....well once so far
So you'll get free tuition as well.
All for the price of a pint!0 -

Waterford had lots of interesting beautiful places all right. The copper coast is amazing on a clear, calm, sunny day. I got a lovely picture along there a couple of summers ago, the sea was like glass. There are also a few spots around South Kilkenny worth looking at too, like Tory Hill, you can get some great shots of a few counties up there, you can see all the way to Tramore and the Waterford coast, you can get the Suir, you can get some nice shots of the Comeraghs, the Black Stairs, Mount Lenister, you can see The Saltees down in Kilmore Quay, on a clear day you could probably get a good shot of them, I can post up directions if anyone is interested. 0

Okay, when you're coming out of town take the dublin road, keep heading out that road, past Irish's pub. You'll pass three turns for Kilmacow on your left, after the last one (just past the railway crossing on the opposite side of the road) watch out for a pink house on your right and another railway crossing, there'll be a sign for a junction and a right arrow on the road, there's also a wall with a long one of those black and yellow arrows on it, go across this railway crossing.
Follow that road up, when you get to a junction where the road keeps going straight and to the right, go to the right, keep going until you meet another junction where the road goes to the left and right, take the left turn, keep going again until you pass a farm on your right and the road turns left, follow this until you see a white house on your left, just after this house there is a turn to the left, take it slow along here as it is easy to miss, as you are turning left up here you should see a stone sign with Rath Uilin (sp?) on it, then you're on the right road! Follow this up, take it easy here, tis very narrow, there isn't much traffic but there are two farms up there so you may meet someone. Follow this in up to Tory Hill, you should pass a farm on your left, you'll come to a dirt track, take it handy here again tis very stony, after a few mins the road goes up to the right, go up to the top of that and you'll see a road going into the trees in front of you a road that curves down to the left and a road that goes up to the right with a bar across it. Park somewhere here, make sure all roads have access as they are used by farmers and the forestry service.
Then walk up the road with the bar across it, you have a choice of roads along the way, the first turn left goes up over a rocky bit and you can get to the top handy enough with that path, if you take this one, after a while you'll come to a road that goes on straight and curves up to the right, go up to the right and you'll get to the top, follow the path along the edge of the drop there and you should get up to the cross at the very top. It easy enough going, but it can be wet sometimes and will have a couple of downed trees along the way to pass, but they're easy enough to get around.
The other roads are a nice walk too and you can eventually get to the top bu they're a bit tougher going to actually get to the top.
As with all narrow country roads on the way up, you will have to stop and pull in for other cars or they will for you, if you get lost at any point, there are houses around and the locals are very helpful, especially the farmers. 0 -
