| has gloss | eng: Creadan Head is a headland on a small peninsula on the west side of Waterford Harbour, about three miles upriver from Dunmore East, in the Ireland. Historically, it was part of the "main road" from Cork to London. A ferry crossing from the headland to Templarstown on the eastern side of the bay was operated by the Knights Templar. Forty hand-hewn steps, leading down to sea-level, are still evident in the rocks at the headland. Creadan Head was also used as a landing stage for certain goods from ships heading upriver to Waterford, New Ross, Granny and other small ports. Items thus landed were not assessed for taxes and other dues. Creadan House is situated at the start of the headland, overlooking a sheltered cove, Creadan Cove. This cove was also used for landing goods. |
