We live in a beautiful area under the Comeragh Mountains, in the Sunny South East. Although we are in a lovely quite area, surrounded by birds and trees. The local town Carrick on Suir is only 7kms away and villages appox 2-3kms away. We are surrounded by old runes Castles, Graveyards and Holy Wells. Ideal for walking, cycling and exploring. We are about 10kms form the Greenway. We are 20mins drive from beaches, safe for swimming and surfing. Kilkenny is a hour away. There is traditional Irish music in the local pubs, of which I partake in.
