About Stoneyford
Stoneyford is a small village in south County Kilkenny, in a largely rural and agricultural setting between Kilkenny city, Thomastown and Callan. It has a quiet, close-knit character, with village homes and local services surrounded by farmland, woodland and the River Nore valley nearby. Education is represented locally by The Schoolmaster's House, while families also look towards primary and secondary schools in neighbouring towns and Kilkenny city. The village is car-dependent for most commuting, with road connections via the R700 and R702 providing access towards Kilkenny, Thomastown, Callan and the M9 motorway. Local life centres on the village’s pubs, community activities and nearby countryside rather than a large retail centre, with everyday shopping and broader services available in Thomastown, Callan and Kilkenny. Jerpoint Park Tea Rooms is a notable nearby destination for refreshments and a day out, while Jerpoint Park and the wider medieval landscape around Jerpoint Abbey add character to the area. Residents can enjoy walking, cycling and countryside pursuits, with larger sports, leisure, healthcare and cultural facilities generally found in the surrounding towns and Kilkenny city.
