[2025 Clonmel Attraction] Travel Guide for Showgrounds Shopping Centre (Updated Jul)

#cityplaybook Stretch your legs on the Blueway heading west, then connect with the Knocklofty Forest trails for a full nature immersion—wooded paths, open glades, and castle ruins peeking through greenery. It’s a longer loop, perfect for hikers. Bring a packed lunch or picnic at the viewpoint. Back in Clonmel, reward yourself with a pint and live music if it’s a weekend night.

#cityplaybook Hit the Blueway early for fresh air and bird calls, walking toward the outskirts of town. Return for a coffee, then explore Clonmel’s South Tipperary Arts Centre, where rotating exhibitions feature local and national artists. Pair that with a quiet afternoon in Mitchell Street’s bookshops and galleries, and round out the day with dinner under soft lighting at Raheen House.

#cityplaybook Catch the sunrise on the Blueway, when the river glows golden and everything feels still. Walk a few easy kilometers out and back, then head for a scenic drive around Slievenamon. Stop in Kilcash village and take a short hill walk near the ruined castle. Back in Clonmel, treat yourself to a warm meal and a pint at a classic pub like Gleesons—a well-rounded day that blends movement, mountains, and music.

#cityplaybook Begin with a stretch on the Blueway westward, then veer off to Marlfield Lake, a peaceful spot full of swans, reeds, and hidden benches. Take the walking loop around the lake and breathe in the quiet countryside. Return via a back road lined with apple trees and stone walls. After a well-earned lunch in town, consider a visit to the South Tipperary County Museum for a touch of local history.

#cityplaybook Walk or cycle east from the Blueway toward Kilsheelan, a charming riverside village about 8 km away. The trail is flat, easy, and full of birdsong. Stop for coffee in the village, and visit the old walled gardens near the church. Return along the same path, or hop a taxi if legs are tired. Spend your afternoon at Hotel Minella’s pool or spa, and enjoy dinner with views of the river you just followed.
