Geocache Description:

Kilmacthomas's impressive viaduct.

Kilmacthomas, Coill Mhic Thomaisin - The Wood of the Son of Thomas. Located half way between Dungarvan and Waterford, Kilmacthomas is a good base for walking and hill climbing in the area. There is a small public park in Kilmacthomas. In it is a viaduct built in the 1860's which carried the railway line across the valley.

During the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Oliver Cromwell, marched from Waterford to Kilmacthomas during the Siege of Waterford. The weather was wet and the river was in flood, so the army couldn't cross. Two nights were spent in the field that is now this park.

The town is famous for it's Flahavan's Porridge factory which has been milling Irish oats for 200 years and supplying breakfast porridge for generations.

Parking available at GZ.

The cache is a magnetic micro. BYOP.
