The town is noted in Irish history for its resistance to the Cromwellian army which sacked the towns of Drogheda and Wexford. We have decided that is no longer its problem.
Clonmel, Ireland
Suir Enough, Clonmel
"Home of Bulmers, Hearts and Tipperary's Longest Sigh"
Official Coat of Arms
Per pale, a battered West Gate rampant, flanked by a pint of cider sinister and a Suir salmon couchant looking mildly smug. The motto reads 'We Are Not Thurles' in faded Latin, beneath a crest of a Sunday afternoon hurling match perpetually in extra time.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★★☆ 4/5
"Arrived expecting a sleepy market town and found a perfectly pleasant county town with a lovely river, a very proud West Gate and a surprising number of people telling me Clonmel is NOT in the same Tipperary as Tipperary town. Walked the Suir Blueway, admired the Main Guard, then spent forty minutes circling for parking on Gladstone Street. The Bulmers connection is a real selling point and the pubs were warm and chatty, though the local rivalry with Cashel and Cahir got suspiciously intense over one innocent comment about which castle was better."— Declan_Drives_Slowly, Portlaoise
Property Listing
A rare opportunity to own a slice of an historic riverside county town, boasting a medieval gate, a handsome Main Guard and a legendary cider heritage within easy reach of everything, assuming you count Cahir as 'easy reach'. Enjoy characterful period streets, an unrivalled local sporting passion and a river view that will make you forget the traffic on the bridge. Early viewing essential before the neighbours in Cashel hear about it.
Twinned With
Bruges — Both are riverside towns with medieval gates, though only one has a Main Guard and a Tipperary-versus-everyone-else identity crisis.
Supporting Evidence
Clonmel is the county town of South Tipperary and once hosted Bulmers, whose cider production here made it one of Ireland's most famous drinking exports, and Laurence Sterne was born here in 1713.
