The Castlecomer Road is one of Kilkenny’s most desirable addresses and offers a wealth of amenities on it’s doorstep including New Park Hotel, Kilkenny College and Kilkenny Golf Club. Kilkenny’s Ring Road and the M9 motorway is also within close proximity.
The anglicised name Castlecomer comes from the original Irish Caislean an Chumai which means “the castle at the confluence of the waters”, the “waters” referring to the rivers Deen, Brocagh and Cloghogue while the “castle” refers to the Norman castle built in 1171 on the mound opposite the gates to “Castlecomer Demesne”.The town is located in the townland of the same name which is in the civil parish of the same name in the ancient barony of Fassadinin.
