Chapter 4: Economy, Tourism, Education and Retail

  • Ardmore is a Heritage Village of Ecclesiastical importance with St Declan’s Well, The Round Tower and The Cathedral.
  • We boast a blue Flag Beach, 3 Clean Coast Beaches as well as the 2km beach at Whiting Bay.
  • We have the beautiful Cliff Walk and several other looped walks as well as Pilgrim Path,  St Declan’s Way from Ardmore to Cashel.
  •  Ram Head is one of Ireland’s most popular Whale Watching locations.
  • We have a very strong Community identity built mainly around The GAA Club and Tidy Towns Association both of whom promote sustainability & biodiversity. All our local organisations work in close harmony and cooperation with one another.
  • We also have a long history of positive visitor experience from all who enjoy our amenities and inclusiveness and our richness in culture and the arts.
  • In addition to The Cliff House Hotel & Michelin Star restaurant we have The Round Tower Hotel, famed White Horses Restaurant, the new Urchin Bar and Adventures, a variety of food outlets, the traditional Keevers Village Pub, Caravan Parks and Motor Home Park and numerous self catering options and an excellent convenience grocery.
  • Sadly our existence as a sustainable village is threatened by the fact that we have very few residents in the heart of our village.
