About Kilmacthomas
Kilmacthomas is a small market town in west County Waterford, positioned in the scenic Mahon Valley on the River Mahon and within easy reach of the Comeragh Mountains. It has a rural, community-minded character, with a compact town centre serving surrounding villages and countryside including Kill, Portlaw, Clonea-Power, Lemybrien, Mahon Bridge and Ballylaneen. Everyday life is convenient rather than urban: local shops, cafés, pubs and services cover many routine needs, while larger retail and employment centres are available in Waterford city and Dungarvan. Education is centred on local primary and secondary provision, with further options and third-level institutions in Waterford. The town is well placed for commuting by road, with the N25 accessible towards Waterford and Dungarvan, while Bus Éireann services provide public transport along the Waterford–Dungarvan corridor. The Waterford Greenway passes directly through Kilmacthomas, making walking and cycling particularly attractive and providing a popular route towards Waterford and Dungarvan. Residents also have access to the Comeragh Drive, Mahon Falls, nearby beaches around Bunmahon and Clonea, and a strong range of GAA and community activities. The town’s pubs, cafés and restaurants give it a sociable local feel, especially around the traditional town centre and Greenway hub.
