The rivers Suir and Tar provide the natural boundaries around our farm at Kilmaneen.
There is approximately 1km of fishing on the Suir and 1/2km on the Tar.
These rivers provide good fly fishing for trout.
This is a private stretch of fishing, consequently it is a very quiet and relaxing place to fish.
For variety, permits can be arranged for fishing the Ardfinnan Club Waters which give access to a further 15km of riverbank of the SuirThere are many other rivers in the area which have excellent fishing also. The Blackwater is famous for salmon fishing and permits can be bought locally.
At Kilmaneen we have a house for storing tackle and for drying waders.
We can also freeze your catch or arrange to have it smoked but if you would like to eat your fish we can cook it for you too!Kilmaneen Farmhouse is situated at the foothills of the Knockmealdown Mountains. There are many Way-marked Trails through these mountains including the Munster Way which in part of the coast to coast path from Dublin to Kerry. St. Declan's Way which follows the footsteps of St. Patrick from Cashel to Ardmore passes within 2 miles of Kilmaneen Farmhouse where it intersects with the Munster Way near Goatenbridge.The Tipperary Heritage Trail, which goes from The Vee to Cashel, has been developed in the last few years. There is a detailed map available for this route. There are many laminated maps available of walking routes on the lower slopes of the Knockmealdowns which give information about historical sites and places of interest along the way. These walks are less strenuous than the Way-marked Routes and are very suitable for the casual walker. They take from about 1 to 4 hours to complete, depending on the route chosen. The Comeragh Mountains, where some of the finest examples of corrie lakes in Europe can be found, are within 15 minutes drive. The word Comeragh comes from Coumarach which means "full of hollows, galcial in origin". The majority of the Comeragh names incorporate Coum which means hollow or valley eg Coumshingaun meaning "Hollow of the Ants" !The Galtee Mountains are within a 30 minute drive from Kilmaneen Farmhouse. Galtymore is the highest peak in Munster outside of Kerry and it is very popular among hill walkers. This peak is a good day's climb.
At Kilmaneen Farmhouse we have many books on walks in the area and we can provide you with some of the maps mentioned above. Kevin has quite a good knowledge of the mountains as he is a keen walker and a member of The Peaks Walking Club based in Clonmel.
As always, please remember to wear suitable boots and clothes on the hills and leave nothing after you except your footprints!
