Loughboy Neighbourhood Guide
Kilkenny
About Loughboy
Loughboy is a mainly suburban and commercial area on the southern side of Kilkenny city, close to the N10 and within straightforward reach of the city centre. It combines established housing with retail, business and light-industrial uses, giving the area a practical, well-connected feel rather than a village-centre atmosphere. Local education includes the School of the Holy Spirit, while Kilkenny’s wider range of primary and secondary schools is accessible by short city journeys. SuperValu and Loughboy Shopping Centre provide convenient everyday shopping, with further retail concentrated around the nearby business parks and Kilkenny Retail Park area. Residents can reach Kilkenny city centre for a broader choice of cafés, restaurants and pubs, while local dining and takeaway options are concentrated around the shopping and business districts. Road access is useful for commuting towards Waterford, Carlow and Dublin, and city bus services and Kilkenny railway station provide alternatives to the car. Leisure opportunities include nearby city parks, sports facilities and community services such as Kilkenny Centre for Independent Living, with the area also benefiting from Kilkenny’s established clubs and cultural attractions.
