About Knockanne
Knockanne is a rural locality in south-east County Waterford, within the X42 routing area and close to Kill, Annestown, Bunmahon and Dunhill. It has a quiet countryside character, with scattered homes, farmland and easy access to the coast and the wider Copper Coast landscape. Daily life is car-dependent, although the nearby villages provide community facilities and the N25 gives useful access towards Waterford city and Dungarvan. Local schooling is centred on primary schools in surrounding villages, with secondary education and broader services generally found in Tramore or Waterford. Kill and Bunmahon provide the nearest traditional village amenities, while Tramore offers the strongest choice of supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs, healthcare and leisure facilities. Residents are close to beaches and coastal walks at Annestown and Bunmahon, as well as the scenic Copper Coast route. The area suits those seeking a peaceful rural base while remaining within practical reach of Waterford city, Tramore and the coast. Local clubs, GAA activity and community organisations in the surrounding villages are an important part of social life.
