About Kilmeaden
Kilmeaden is a small, mainly residential and rural village in County Waterford, west of Waterford city on the N25 corridor and close to the River Suir. It has a quiet community feel, with countryside, farms and village services nearby, while the city is readily accessible for employment, shopping and further education. Families are served locally by Kilmeadan National School, with additional primary and secondary choices available in Waterford city and surrounding towns. The village is well placed for commuting by car, with straightforward access towards Waterford, Dungarvan and Cork; bus services also connect the area, although a car is useful for many daily journeys. Local amenities include shops, cafés and food outlets, while nearby Waterford city provides a much broader choice of restaurants, pubs, retail parks and cultural venues. Outdoor attractions are a strong feature, particularly the Waterford Greenway, which passes through the village and offers walking and cycling towards Waterford and Dungarvan. The popular Greenway route, local GAA activity and proximity to beaches around Tramore and Dunmore East add to Kilmeaden’s appeal for active households.
