About Knocklong
Knocklong is a small rural village in south County Limerick, in the Golden Vale and close to the Tipperary border, with Hospital, Emly, Elton and Garryspillane among the nearest settlements. It has a quiet, close-knit countryside character, with local homes and farms set around the village and convenient access to larger services in Hospital, Tipperary town and Limerick city. Education is centred on local primary provision, while families also use secondary schools in nearby towns such as Hospital, Limerick and Tipperary. Knocklong railway station provides a useful rail connection on the Limerick–Waterford line, while the N24 and regional roads support car commuting towards Limerick, Tipperary and the M8. The village has traditional pub and community life, although residents generally travel to Hospital or Tipperary town for a wider choice of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, healthcare and retail. Outdoor life is strongly associated with the surrounding farmland, the Galtee Mountains in the wider area and local GAA activity. Knocklong’s historic railway setting and its connection with the 1919 Knocklong rescue give the village a distinctive place in local history.
