About Glenmore
Glenmore is a rural parish in south County Kilkenny, close to the Waterford and Wexford borders and within easy reach of New Ross, with a quiet, strongly community-minded character. The area is defined by farmland, scattered homes and small village settlements rather than a conventional town centre, so everyday life is peaceful and car-dependent. Glenmore National School provides local primary education, while secondary schools, larger shops and many services are generally found in nearby New Ross, Ferrybank, Waterford or Carrick-on-Suir. The N25 and N9/M9 connections make regional commuting practical, with New Ross and Waterford the main nearby service and employment centres; local bus coverage is more limited than in urban areas. Residents typically use New Ross for supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, banking and healthcare, while village pubs and community facilities provide a more local social focus. The surrounding countryside offers walking, cycling and open-air recreation, and the nearby River Barrow and River Suir landscapes add to the area’s appeal. Glenmore GAA is an important community institution, alongside local schools, parish activities and clubs that help maintain the parish’s close-knit identity.
