Company Description
Copper Coast Geopark Company Limited By Guarantee is the charitable organisation that manages the Copper Coast UNESCO Global Geopark, a unique landscape stretching along the mid-Waterford coast and inland. As a UNESCO Global Geopark, it safeguards sites of international geological significance while using the area's rich natural and cultural heritage to educate visitors, inspire sustainable development and raise awareness of climate-change challenges.
The Geopark's core activities include the development and promotion of its network of "geosites", each telling a part of the 460-million-year geological story or illustrating the interaction between people and the land. It runs guided tours, specialist workshops such as the Coastal Change Workshop, and a range of community events - for example Heritage Week 2025 - that bring the science and history of the region to life. An interactive map and regular social-media updates help visitors explore the landscape, while the visitor centre offers exhibitions and information for schools, families and tourists alike.
Serving locals and travellers from across Ireland and beyond, Copper Coast Geopark combines stunning scenery with expert interpretation, making the ancient story of fire, ice and copper accessible to all who wish to experience Ireland's geological heritage.
