Clonea-power Neighbourhood Guide
Waterford
About Clonea-power
Clonea Power is a small rural locality in County Waterford, within the wider Nire Valley and Comeragh foothills, close to Kilmacthomas, Portlaw and Rathgormack. The area has a quiet, dispersed countryside character, with farmland, wooded valleys and mountain scenery shaping everyday life. It suits residents looking for space and a village-based community rather than an urban neighbourhood, while the larger towns of Carrick-on-Suir, Dungarvan and Waterford provide broader shopping and services. Local schooling is centred on nearby national schools, with secondary education and further services generally reached by road or school transport. There is no rail station in Clonea Power, so commuting is mainly car-based, using the R671 and connections towards the N25, Waterford and Clonmel; buses serve some nearby settlements rather than the locality directly. Kilmacthomas and Portlaw provide the closest everyday shops, cafés, pubs and community facilities, while Waterford offers a wider choice of restaurants, retail and leisure attractions. Outdoor recreation is a major attraction, with the Comeragh Mountains, the Mahon Falls area and the Waterford Greenway all within reach. The nearby Clonea Power GAA community and local amenities such as the Health Centre Carpark reflect the close-knit, practical character of the area.
