About Mooncoin
Mooncoin is a village in south County Kilkenny, close to the Waterford border and the River Suir, with the X91 routing area reflecting its strong links to Waterford city. It has a settled, village-and-rural character, combining established housing with farmland and one-off homes in the surrounding townlands. Everyday life is relatively peaceful, while Waterford provides the main concentration of larger shops, employment, healthcare, secondary education and entertainment. Mooncoin has local primary-school provision and community facilities, with further schools available in nearby Kilmacow, Portlaw and Waterford. The village is served by local bus connections and sits close to the N24, making commuting towards Waterford, Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel practical by car; Waterford Plunkett railway station is the nearest significant rail option. Local amenities include village shops, services and pubs, while residents also use nearby Portlaw and Waterford for a broader choice of cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. The surrounding Suir valley, beaches and countryside offer walking, cycling and outdoor opportunities, and Mooncoin GAA is an important focus for local sporting and community life.
