Crough Wood Walk – Trail section closure for essential maintenance work
A short section of one of Waterford’s most popular walking trails, Crough Wood Walk will be closed from the week beginning 14th April until 31st May 2025 for essential embankment stabilization works, being carried out by Waterford City and County Council. The section of trail occurs approximately 1.8 kms northwest of Mahon Bridge Car Park along a 150-metre approx. section of trail (Gps: 52.211331, -7.520525).
We ask all trail users to obey safety signage and do not enter the works area for the duration of the project. The rest of the trail will remain open to walkers either side of the works site. We would like to thank visitors for their cooperation whilst the works are ongoing and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We would also like to acknowledge the support of Coillte and Comeragh Community Development Group with regard to this project and the ongoing maintenance and development of Crough Wood as a fantastic amenity for locals and visitors alike. Waterford City and County Council would like to warmly congratulate Crough Woods and Comeragh Community Development Group on winning the Community Woodland Award at the 2025 RDS Irish Forest and Woodland Awards held on 10th April last at the RDS, Dublin.
