Copper Coast Tourism Group

Copper Coast Tourism is the voluntary group that was set up by the five local
independent communities (Stradbally, Bunmahon, Annestown-Dunhill and
Fenor) to see how to develop tourism in this rural area of Co. Waterford.

Each community is developing its own resources. Fenor has its bog-walk
and mini-farm. Annestown-Dunhill a medieval castle and church owned by the
community plus various commercial and ecological enterprises. Boatstrand to
Bunmahon, as well as having harbour and beaches, has a geological garden
and a blue flag beach. Stradbally, with its antiquities was also European
Entente Florale winner in 2002.

It was through the work of Copper Coast Tourism in partnership with the
Geological Survey of Ireland and the Mining Heritage Trust of Ireland that the
area was awarded the designation "European Geopark" in 2001.
