Ardmore
This coastal west Waterford historic seaside village boasts a wide selectiuon of attractions, accommodation, and facilities. Also home to a spectacular beach. See the famous 'Round Tower'.
Ardmore is one of the jewels of the tourism crown of County Waterford. Perched on the cliff top overlooking one of the finest beaches on the south coast, Ardmore is a haven of tranquility and commands breathtaking views of the Atlantic.
The village is steeped in history from the earliest days of Irish Christianity over 1,500 years ago. The 12th Century Round Tower is perfectly preserved and is one of the finest of its kind in the country. Ardmore was the home of St. Declan, who is believed to have brought Christianity to this country even before St. Patrick arrived in 432. The ruins of the Cathedral with its famous gable showing boldly carved biblical scenes, the burial place of St. Declan and the nearby Holy Well and Oratory of the Saint show a wealth of history.
Located just five miles off the N25, Ardmore is easily accessible from Dungarvan and Cork. Its impeccable presentation and quaint streetscape makes Ardmore a place of choice to live and visit. The village offers excellent accommodation and top quality local cafes, restaurants and bars in beautiful surroundings.
