Geology and the City in Waterford

A guided walk through Waterford City exploring how geology has shaped the city and the stories hidden in the stone beneath our feet.
About this Event

A wider version of the fossil bing we did previously, will look at four geological stories visible across the city, including:

• Why the ancient city developed where it did.
• How local stone was used to build Waterford and how that shaped the architecture of early Waterford and how geology is likely to have influenced..
• Bedrock formed by ancient volcanic activity
• Marine fossils preserved in the city’s stone
• How geology continues to influence Waterford’s modern urban character
