About Clerihan
Clerihan is a village in south County Tipperary, approximately six kilometres east of Clonmel and within easy reach of Cahir, Fethard and the surrounding Golden Vale countryside. It has a predominantly residential, community-minded character, with newer housing alongside an established village centre and open rural landscapes nearby. Families are served locally by Clerihan National School, while secondary schools and a broader range of services are available in Clonmel and nearby towns. The village is well placed for commuting by road, with the N24 providing a direct connection towards Clonmel, Cahir and the wider regional network; Clonmel also offers the nearest railway station and more extensive bus links. Day-to-day shopping and services are available in and around the village, with supermarkets, cafés, pubs and restaurants more plentiful in Clonmel. Leisure is centred on local sports, community activities and access to the countryside, while nearby attractions include Cahir Castle, the Swiss Cottage and the Comeragh foothills. Clerihan therefore suits residents looking for a quieter village setting without being far from employment, education, healthcare and retail services in Clonmel.
