Where is Lingaun Valley?

The Lingaun River Valley forms part of the border between Kilkenny and Tipperary, with its source in the foothills of Slievenamon, it meanders through the townlands and villages of Grangemockler, Killamery, Knockroe, Tullahought, Ahenny, Kilmacoliver, Faugheen, and Kilkieran to enter the Suir River at Tybroughney just downstream from the Ormond Castle in Carrick on Suir.

A wealth of ancient and historic sites are scattered along this path. The region is extremely rural in nature and has a strong tradition of farming.
