Jewel of the Seas made port in Dunmore East in County Waterford, Ireland, on 17 June 2022. We actually arrived here on the preceding Iceland-Ireland-Northern Ireland cruise of 5 June, but rain kept us aboard Jewel that day. No big deal, as this second shot gave us much better weather. So, we tendered in the village and started our self-guided walking tour into this quaint Irish fishing village. On this trip we opted to stay in town, as we’d already visited nearby Waterford on a previous cruise.
Most of this week’s Dunmore East photos were taken on Convent Road. But before we head north on Convent Road, let’s take a look back at the harbor:
This being mid-June, flowers were in blume:
This next photo was taken on Convent Road looking back south from the direction we came:
Turning back to face the other direction you’ll find Dunmore East Library and Tourist Information:
Continuing northward is where things get especially charming. For just past the library one stumbles upon a plethora of thatched roofs:
These roofs are found all along the route:
Beyond the collection of thatched buildings you’ll soon come upon Dunmore East Park. Make sure you stick around, camera at the ready, for views such as this:
North of the park you’ll see Ladies Cove:
Opposite the park is a rather impressive hotel. This is The Haven, which looked to be preparing for a wedding:
We’ll continue with Dunmore East on Wednesday.
