About Clerihan
Clerihan is a village in County Tipperary, about five kilometres east of Clonmel on the R689, with the scenic Comeragh Mountains and South Tipperary countryside close by. It has a predominantly residential, family-oriented character, combining newer housing with an established village centre and surrounding farmland. Daily life is convenient for local essentials, while Clonmel provides a much wider choice of supermarkets, specialist shops, cafés, restaurants, healthcare and secondary services. Clerihan National School serves the village, and further primary and secondary education options are available in nearby Clonmel, with Cahir and Fethard also within practical driving distance. The village is well placed for commuting by road, with the R689 linking directly to Clonmel and the N24 providing access towards Carrick-on-Suir and Waterford, or Cahir and the M8. Local amenities include community and sports facilities, children’s play areas and village shops, while pubs and casual dining are found locally and in nearby Clonmel. The surrounding countryside offers attractive walking and cycling opportunities, and the proximity of Knocklofty Demesne, the Comeragh foothills and the River Suir valley adds to the area’s appeal for outdoor-minded residents.
