Loughboy Neighbourhood Guide
Kilkenny
About Loughboy
Loughboy is a mainly residential and commercial area on the southern side of Kilkenny city, within easy reach of the city centre and the surrounding countryside towards Bennettsbridge and Ballycallan. It has a practical, suburban feel, with housing, employment premises, retail units and community services concentrated around the Loughboy Shopping Centre and adjoining business parks. SuperValu provides everyday groceries, while the wider retail area offers convenient shopping, parking and services rather than a traditional village main street. Residents are close to Kilkenny city’s broader selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs, cultural venues and independent shops, with venues such as Kilkenny Castle, the Medieval Mile and Butler Gallery readily accessible by car, bus or bicycle. School provision nearby includes the School of the Holy Spirit, while other primary and secondary options are available elsewhere across Kilkenny city. Local journeys are generally straightforward by road, with regular city bus services and Kilkenny railway station providing connections towards Dublin, Waterford and other destinations. Green space and outdoor recreation are available in and around the city, including Kilkenny Castle Park and the River Nore walks, while Loughboy’s community and support services include Kilkenny Centre for Independent Living. The area suits residents seeking convenient access to employment, retail parks and city amenities without living directly in the busiest central streets.
