About

Waterford Suir Valley Railway is Ireland’s longest narrow gauge railway, based in Kilmeadan, Co Waterford. Arrive at the beautifully refurbished Kilmeadan Station. Check in at the ticket office, a converted Irish Rail Mark 2 carriage. Meet the friendly volunteer drivers as you board the train from the railway platform built in 1878. When the whistle blows, the wave of the green flag signals it’s time to set off on this exciting journey through the countryside beside Waterford Greenway and along the banks of the River Suir. On the journey watch out for the cormorants resting on the ruins of Kilmeadan Castle and get a glimpse into one of the “Great Gardens of the World ” Mount Congreve Gardens. Make a wish when you see the fairies in the Magic Wood. Pass by the lime kilns and journey on to Carriganore. The return journey lasts 40 minutes. Enjoy a coffee and home baked treat at the Whistlestop Cáfe while discovering the Story of Rail on the storyboards around the station.
