Clerihan Neighbourhood Guide
Tipperary
About Clerihan
Clerihan is a village in County Tipperary, around six kilometres west of Clonmel on the R662, with the Comeragh Mountains and the wider Golden Vale shaping its setting. It has a largely residential, community-focused character, combining newer housing with an established village centre and surrounding farmland. Daily life is convenient for families, with Scoil Choilm Primary School in the village and a broader choice of secondary schools, shops and services in nearby Clonmel. The village has local convenience shopping, cafés and pub facilities, while Clonmel provides a much wider selection of restaurants, supermarkets, healthcare, retail and cultural amenities. Commuters can use the regular bus services towards Clonmel and Cahir, with Clonmel railway station providing connections on the Limerick–Waterford line; the N24 also gives access towards Cahir, Cashel and Waterford. Recreation is an important part of village life, with local GAA activity, playing fields and easy access to walking and outdoor pursuits around Knocklofty and the Comeragh foothills. Clerihan is therefore suited to residents seeking a quieter village base while remaining within practical reach of Clonmel’s employment, education and services.
