About Kilmacthomas
Kilmacthomas is a small, friendly town in west County Waterford, set in the scenic Mahon Valley between Waterford city and Dungarvan. It has a distinctly rural, community-minded character, while its position on the N25 corridor provides useful access to larger employment, retail and education centres. The town is particularly well known as a gateway to the Waterford Greenway, with the former railway station and Kilmacthomas Viaduct among its notable landmarks. Families have local primary-school provision, with further secondary education available in nearby towns including Dungarvan and Carrick-on-Suir. Bus services connect Kilmacthomas with Waterford, Dungarvan and surrounding villages, and the N25 makes commuting by car relatively straightforward, although daily travel is generally easier with access to a vehicle. Local life centres on the town’s shops, cafés, pubs and community facilities, with larger supermarkets and a broader choice of restaurants available in Dungarvan and Waterford. The Greenway, Comeragh foothills and nearby Mahon Falls provide excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation, while local sports clubs and community organisations contribute strongly to the area’s social life.
