Reginald's Tower

Why visit

Reginald's Tower is worth time because it is a circular stone tower on Waterford’s historic waterfront, connected with the city’s Viking and medieval defences. The visit centres on stone defensive tower, waterfront setting, and local history displays, so the place can be understood through visible features rather than reputation alone. The present stone tower is largely medieval, on a site linked with earlier Viking fortifications. It later served military, civic and storage functions. Within South-East & Tipperary, it adds a clear museums, heritage dimension to a broader itinerary. A measured visit leaves time to examine the building fabric, landscape or collections and to understand how the site relates to its immediate setting.
