About Kilmeaden
Kilmeaden is a small village in County Waterford, situated west of Waterford city on the N25 corridor towards Dungarvan and close to the River Suir. It has a mainly residential, rural character, with village services and countryside surrounding established housing areas. Daily life is generally quiet and community-focused, while Waterford city remains within straightforward commuting distance by car. Kilmeaden has a primary school and benefits from nearby secondary schools and further education in Waterford, with school transport serving the wider rural hinterland. The village is well placed for road travel via the N25 and R680, although residents typically rely on cars for commuting and many errands; local bus services provide a more limited alternative. The Waterford Greenway passes through the area, providing an important leisure and cycling route towards Waterford, Kilmeadan and Dungarvan. Local amenities include village shops, cafés and pub dining, while larger supermarkets, restaurants, healthcare services and retail facilities are available in Waterford city and nearby Carriganore. The surrounding Suir valley and Comeragh foothills offer walking and outdoor opportunities, and local GAA and community activities help give Kilmeaden a strong sense of place.
