Cheekpoint: Packet Station to the Three Sisters

Walk from the working quay at Cheekpoint — once a mail-packet port for boats to Wales — up past the village's old fishing grounds and Minaun Hill to the medieval church ruins and Georgian mansion at Faithlegg. Along the way, trace how one improving landlord's vision of a boom village gave way to a quieter life of salmon fishing at the meeting of the Suir, Barrow and Nore. Looking for things to do in Cheekpoint? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
