About Cheekpoint
Cheekpoint is a small riverside settlement in County Waterford, on the meeting point of the River Suir and River Barrow, close to Faithlegg and roughly 15 kilometres east of Waterford city. It has a quiet, rural-coastal character, with homes and farmland set around a historic fishing and boating community rather than a conventional town centre. Daily life is peaceful and scenic, although residents generally travel to Waterford, Passage East or nearby villages for larger shops, services and most schooling. Local primary-school provision is available in the wider area, while secondary schools and further education are concentrated in Waterford city and nearby towns. Cheekpoint is served mainly by car, with access towards Waterford via the R683 and the Passage East–Ballyhack car ferry providing a useful cross-river connection; bus services are limited compared with urban areas. The local social scene centres on the renowned Crooke’s Bar, while nearby Faithlegg and Waterford provide additional restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, healthcare and leisure facilities. Riverside walks, boating, fishing and views across the estuary are major attractions, and Faithlegg Golf Club is close by. The area suits people seeking a close-knit, outdoors-oriented setting within commuting distance of Waterford, rather than those looking for extensive shops or nightlife on the doorstep.
