Comeraghs Wild festival set to scale new heights

Generations of landowners have eked out a living by farming sheep on the rugged uplands of the Comeraghs in Co Waterford.

But now many of them are looking at the wider value of the scenic mountain range that dominates the countryside, stretching from the sea at Dungarvan to the outskirts Clonmel in south Tipperary.

Farmers see the land as a resource for future generations and like many others in the region are diversifying into tourism ventures especially those that support walking and outdoor activities, culture and heritage.
