Fenor Neighbourhood Guide
Waterford
About Fenor
Fenor is a small rural village in east County Waterford, positioned between Waterford city and the seaside town of Tramore, with Annestown, Dunhill and Kilmeaden nearby. It has a quiet, community-oriented character, with detached homes, farmland and the Comeragh-facing countryside surrounding a compact village centre. Day-to-day living is peaceful and car-dependent, although Tramore provides a broader range of supermarkets, schools, cafés, restaurants, healthcare and leisure facilities a short drive away. Fenor National School serves local primary-age children, while secondary-school options are mainly in Tramore and Waterford city. The village is close to the Copper Coast and the coast road towards Annestown, while nearby amenities include Fenor Bog, a valuable nature reserve with walking trails and wildlife. Local social life centres on community activities, GAA and the village pub, with further bars, restaurants and cafés available in Tramore. Road access is straightforward via the R675 and R680, with Waterford city generally reached by car or bus connections, making Fenor attractive to residents seeking countryside living within commuting distance of the city.
