Waterford is a great place to live. The Waterford flag is blue and white. There are lots of big and important places in Waterford. Waterford crystal is made in Waterford. The river Backwater flows through Waterford. There are lots of shops in Waterford. There are lots of nice places to go and see in Waterford. Next year the tall ships race is coming to Waterford city harbour. Waterford is a good place to go fishing too. The counties Cork, Tipperary and Kilkenny are beside Waterford. Waterford is fun. We like living in Waterford because there are lots of things to do. We live in West Waterford. There are lots of things to learn about in Waterford. There will be a new shopping centre in Waterford soon because one is going to open in Dungarvan soon.
