Waterford - Reginald's Tower

At the far end of Waterford's Parade Quay, The Mall, an attractive street with a number of Georgian houses, branches off on the right at a sharp angle. On the corner is an imposing round tower known as Reginald's Tower, with walls 10ft/3m thick. It is reputed to have been a part of the defenses against the Vikings - its date is generally given as 1003 - but in its present form it appears to be a remnant of the Norman times. It now houses the City Museum.
