Overview

St Patrick's Well is located near Clonmel a short distance south of the main Clonmel, Cahir road. It is an old religious site situated in a sheltered glen where a large volume of spring water continuously wells up from underground. The church was built in the seventeenth century, but there are traces of an even older building. Inside the walls is the tomb of Nicholas White of Clonmel who died in 1622. At the centre of the small lake is a weathered Celtic Cross which dates from early Christian times in Ireland.

Didnt know what to expect a stunning peaceful spot hidden away amongst the verdant greenery. The bubbling reflecting pond is memorising, we had the place to ourselves, some people were arriving for a christening as we left.

The title says it all- quiet and tranquil. Interesting 5th Century stone cross. Might be nice to take a picnic.

What a serene place with only the sound of running water. We enjoyed the stroll around. It has a rather interesting history. This is not wheel chair friendly. You could pack a picnic and enjoy on the lovely grass. We really enjoyed our walk here,...More

Such a beautiful area to sit and enjoy. When the sun is out, this is definitely a destination worth visiting. Its walking distance from Poppyfields and the Park hotel, which I highly recommend. There is also a duck pond only around the corner from here...More

Unfortunately the geographical reality of this beautiful spot negates access, the steps down are very steep and are difficult for anyone with physical difficulties, however just to stop at the top of the steps and look down... More
