About Mullinavat
Mullinavat is a small, welcoming village in south County Kilkenny, set in the rolling countryside between Kilkenny city and Waterford and close to the River Nore. It has a predominantly rural, residential character, with village services and strong links to surrounding farming communities and nearby settlements including Kilmacow, Fiddown and Glenmore. Families benefit from local primary education, while secondary schools and wider shopping are available in Waterford, Kilkenny and nearby towns. The village is well placed for commuting by car, with the M9 providing the principal connection to Waterford, Kilkenny and Dublin, while rail services are available from nearby stations rather than within the village itself. Day-to-day needs are served by local shops, a post office, pubs and community facilities, with additional supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and healthcare services found in Waterford and Kilkenny. Recreation centres on GAA, football, walking and community activities, with the surrounding countryside offering plenty of space for outdoor pursuits. Mullinavat’s parish church, village streetscape and close-knit community atmosphere give it a distinctly local feel, although residents generally travel for larger retail, cultural and leisure choices.
