Description

On this Ballysaggartmore Towers hiking route, we'll explore one of the most secret places in County Waterford and all of Ireland. A must if you're in Lismore!

Ballysaggartmore Towers Hiking Tour

We'll meet at 11 am at Ballysaggartmore Towers and start exploring these enigmatic buildings in County Waterford. Did you know that they have never had a specific function throughout their history?

Our hiking route will take us all around these curious towers, located in a secluded spot 3 kilometers (1.9 miles) from Lismore. You'll learn all about the legends surrounding this unfinished fortress as we explore the surroundings.

As we walk, we'll also hear all kinds of interesting stories, ranging from the time of the famine to the life of the owner of the towers, Arthur Kiely-Ussher, who began to build them with the idea of surprising his wife with a great mansion that would never come to light. A route full of intrigue!

Finally, we'll return to the meeting point, concluding the tour at 12 pm.
