About Fenor
Fenor is a small, rural village in County Waterford, situated between Tramore and Waterford city and close to the Copper Coast coastline.

Fenor National School serves local families, while secondary schools and a wider choice of education are available in nearby Tramore and Waterford. Most residents rely on cars for commuting, with the R675 providing the main road connection towards Tramore and Waterford; local bus services are available but less frequent than in larger towns. Everyday shopping is generally done in Tramore, where there are supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and other services, while Waterford city provides a broader range of employment, retail and cultural facilities. Fenor itself is known for its community amenities, including the village pub and the Fenor Bog Nature Reserve, an important wetland habitat with walking trails. The nearby coast offers access to beaches such as Saleens and Tramore, and the area is well placed for outdoor activities, GAA and community events.
