Dunhill is an inclusive, supportive location in which to invest, work, live and operate a business
Dunhill Ecopark, is owned and managed by Dunhill Rural Enterprises Ltd. It is situated in The Copper Coast in Waterford, in the Southeast region of Ireland. It accommodates
both an Enterprise Centre and an Education Centre and we welcome new businesses to
the area.
Dunhill Ecopark was established in 1993 from the voluntary efforts of the local community. We strives to develop the community, socially, economically, and culturally by harnessing the talents of our people and the resources available. We believe that there is no limit to what can be achieved by a community working together.
The la Poer (Power) family built the Dunhill castle in the early 1200’s. There is some evidence of an earlier Celtic fort on the hilltop also. The town's name is derived from the Irish translation of the fort of the rock. The impressive silhouette comprises only about half a fifteenth century tower with bits of outer walls dating to the early thirteenth century. Between the castle and church would have stood the medieval village of Dunhill which was basically a string of wooden houses
The River Anne meanders down along the Anne Valley from Dunhill and enters the sea at Annestown Beach. Standing on the bridge in Annestown beside the pink house which is right on the river bank, there is a marvellous view up the valley to the towering, ivy-clad Dunhill Castle which itself has a long and colourful history.
