About Ardmore
Ardmore is a small, historic seaside village on Waterford’s southwest coast, overlooking Ardmore Bay and the Celtic Sea near the Cork border. It has a relaxed, close-knit feel, with a mix of year-round homes, holiday properties, traditional cottages and newer residential development. The village is known for its sandy beach, harbour, cliff walks and the remains of St Declan’s Cathedral and its distinctive round tower. St. Mary’s National School in Grange provides a local primary-school option, while families have access to further education and secondary schools in nearby towns such as Dungarvan and Youghal. Ardmore is largely car-dependent, with local roads connecting to Dungarvan, Clashmore, Aglish and Kinsalebeg, and regional bus services available in the wider area; commuting by car is generally the most practical option. Everyday shopping is limited but useful, with village shops and seasonal services, while Dungarvan and Youghal provide a broader range of supermarkets, banking, healthcare and retail. The village’s pubs, cafés and seafood-focused restaurants are particularly popular in the summer, and local walking, sailing, swimming and community activities give Ardmore an appealing coastal lifestyle throughout the year.
