  • Family-run site set alongside the Comeragh Mountains
  • A 10-minute drive from Clonmel and surrounded by walking paths
  • Kitchen and a thatched wine bar serving food and homemade soda bread
A little bit of the mountains, a little bit of lakes and a lot of Irish charisma – sounds like something you could dabble in? Then, dabble away at Powers The Pot Caravan and Camping Park, which is set alongside the Comeragh Mountains in Co. Waterford. This dog-friendly, family-run park is a 10-minute drive away from historic Clonmel, where guests can pretty easily find a local bar to listen to traditional music on many nights of the week. Ample opportunities to listen to traditional music – tick. Ample opportunities for hiking? Absolutely, tick. Maps and advice are available at the park for walks in the local mountains and woods. That’s not all in the way of outdoor activities, though. Fishing, horse riding, tennis and golf are well within reach, with a golf course five minutes’ drive away and a sports club providing tennis, pitch and putt and badminton 10 minutes’ drive away. Back to the gorgeous local town of Clonmel, though. Its medieval walls are gathered in the northwest corner of the town, and there’s also a tall gate at the western entrance called West Gate. Ruins of an 18th-century castle, a garden and Old St Mary’s Church should keep you googly-eyed, while the town’s shops and restaurants keep you well-fed. This welcoming site has a very good set of facilities to add to the spectacular views. Free hot showers, laundry and an adjoining campers’ kitchen are very handy, but many guests’ favourite spot is the thatched wine bar, which has a traditional peat fire and sells excellent cuisine and homemade soda bread.

Liked: the cottage with a bar! the perfect place for people to get together in the evenings to enjoy a drink from the bar or brought in. The site had a very relaxed atmosphere. The communal kitchen and showers/toilets may not been spanking new - but were kept clean - it was my first time there, but I can see why my group has been meeting up there for 15 years!

Local attractions

Make sure you have a pen and paper handy to jot down all the lovely walks that you could plan from Powers The Pot Caravan and Camping Park. The Nire Valley (10 minutes’ drive) might wind up at the top of the list, as its lakes are frankly gorgeous. Coumshingaun Lough (15 minutes) is a particularly lush local lake. The five-mile trek there is steep, but the rocky bluff and gorgeous greenery are a worthwhile reward. Perhaps you’re looking to challenge yourself to a longer route than the aforementioned five miles. If so, luckily for you, the East Munster Way is within walking distance of the site, and weaves for 70 kilometres over all sorts of terrains, including woodlands, moors and countryside. Those who are more drawn to a peaceful pedal than a foot-based expedition can put the Sean Kelly Cycling Route first. It starts and ends near Dungarvan (35 minutes), passing by gorgeous villages, the River Blackwater, the heritage town of Lismore and Ardmore’s 12th-century cathedral.
