Welcome to the newly redesigned River Suir website. This web site endeavours to show a cross section of the vibrant activity, current and historical, associated with the Suir.
The Suir river rises in the Devil's Bit near Moneygall in County Tipperary and flows in a southerly direction past Templemore which lies to the west, through Thurles and Cahir to the boundary between counties Tipperary and Waterford near Newcastle. From a point near Newcastle , the river flows north and then east through Clonmel, Carrick on Suir and Waterford to join the River Barrow at Cheekpoint.
The main tributaries of the River Suir are the Aherlow, Anner, Clodiagh, Multeen, Drish, Tar, Linguan, Clodaigh (Portlaw) and Pollanassa. The Suir catchment covers the bulk of County Tipperary together with parts of Kilkenny, Waterford and smaller parts of Limerick and Cork. It covers much of the Golden Vale which is a highly productive farming area. The river supported milling activities historically and is famed for its fisheries as well as general recreation and amenity.
