Immediately east of Waterford city, at the neck of its long harbour, the pretty ferry village of PASSAGE EAST nestles under craggy hills, the estuary slopes aflame with wild gorse. The ferry here connects with Ballyhack in County Wexford (Passage East Car Ferry tel 051/382488) - a particularly useful route east for cyclists, especially if you're making for Rosslare or want to stay with the coast. If you want to stay , try the Cois Abhann (tel 051/382190; GBP33-40/?41.90-50.79). Across the water, less than a mile from Ballyhack, there's an An Oige hostel at Arthurstown (closed Oct-May; tel 051/389411). The tiny fishing village of CHEEKPOINT , to the north of here, sits at the confluence of the rivers Suir, Nore and Barrow, its chief draw the excellent seafood at the Suir Inn . Coastal paths south of Passage East afford views over the estuary to the Hook Head, County Wexford. The long sandy beach flanked by deep woodland at WOODSTOWN , just over two miles south of Passage East, takes some beating if you're looking for a quiet stroll or a gentle dip.
