The tranquil River Nore is one of the Three Sister Rivers, meeting the River Suir and River Barrow to form Waterford Harbour. The Nore’s source is the Devil’s Bit Mountain in Tipperary, and legend has it that the devil took a bite out of this mountain, spat it out and formed the rock of Cashel.
Experience angling on the River Nore with a lesson at Mount Juliet Estate in Kilkenny. The estate also features a trail where you can ramble through beautifully maintained rose, herb and walled gardens.
