Dungarvan sits serenely between forested hills and the bay where the
River Colligan meets the sea. Originally a port developed around an
Anglo-Norman castle – King John’s Castle – this market town is now
the administrative centre for Co. Waterford. Founded in 1185, the
castle was built in a very strategic location at the mouth of the River
Colligan. From here ships could be anchored, and soldiers could
command the narrow strip of land to the south of the Comeragh
Mountains, which linked East and West Waterford. It is one of the few
royal castles built in Ireland in the 1200s. Dungarvan is a great place
from which to tour the Comeragh Mountains and the Ring Peninsula.
The Old Market House Arts Centre in Parnell Street, St. Mary’s Church
and the Dungarvan Museum in the Old Town Hall are worth visiting.
