Fenor Bog is a regenerating valley fen which was formerly a raised bog where turf was cut. Owned by the Irish Peatland Conservation Council it was designated as Waterford's first National Nature Reserve in 2004. The bog is a storehouse of natural variety. Over 200 species of plant, bird, insect and animal have been recorded on site.
The site extends for 32 acres with a 500m boardwalk across the boglands. Here walkers can stroll at their own pace and take in the surrounding nature. Fun fact: Fenor Bog has been described as one of the best sites in Waterford for observing dragon flies in summer!
