Very interesting trip definitely walk through this area if you're in Waterford. The sculpture is removed for some reason in June probably temporarily.Its free to walk the plaza and this timber sculpture is a worthy sight. Hope your lucky

We were on a long bus tour of Ireland and one of the stops was Waterford. Walking around the town we found the old French Church, built in the mid 1200s but in ruins. Lots of tourists around was a nice bit of interesting history.

Piękne miejsce... Klimat... Ruiny franciszkanskiego kościoła i szpitala. Niesamowite że tak ludzie umieli budować w XIII wieku. Przed ruinami stroi pomnik urodzonego w Waterford kronikarza i franciszkanina za razem Luka Waddinga. Niesamowity klimat, koniecznie trzeba zobaczyć. Niedaleko informacji turystycznej w tzw trójkącie wikingów.
