Nire Valley Annual Walking Festival

16th Annual walking festival in the scenic Nire Valley. Weekend of spectacular walking, great talking and a feast of traditional music, singing and dancing in the Nire Valley, Co Waterford The name ' Nire Valley ' comes from the Gaelic ' Gleann na hUidhre ' which means glen or valley of the yellow / brown stone which is to be seen along the river bank. This Nire river tumbles down through the valley from its source high up in the Comeragh mountains to the smooth flowing Suir river near Newcastle. The Irish language was the spoken tongue here until the early part of this century and to this day many of the old Gaelic phrases and customs survive in ordinary everyday life. We invite you to our autumn walking festival which is held the second weekend in October.
