Waterford (The Harbor of the Sun) Founded way, way, way back in 914 A.D., this southern city is the oldest in Ireland yet somehow remains a vibrant, exciting place to be all year round. Home to the oldest cathedral in Ireland, it was here that the very first GAA match was held and it just so happens to have been a proud Waterford man that created the Irish Tricolour! Fierce patriotic all together, it’s even said that the first Saint Patrick’s Day festival was held down in this Munster county. With one foot rooted in history and the other striding towards the future, with these socks on your feet you’ll always have Waterford in your soul.
