St Patrick's Well is located near Clonmel a short
distance south of the main Clonmel, Cahir road.
It is an old religious site situated in a sheltered glen where a
large volume of spring water continuously wells up from
underground.
The church was built in the seventeenth century, but there are
traces of an even older building. Inside the walls is the tomb of
Nicholas White of Clonmel who died in 1622.
At the centre of the small lake is a weathered Celtic Cross which
dates from early Christian times in Ireland.
To enter the site visitors must descend a long flight of stone
steps, so it is unsuitable for wheelchair users.
St. Patrick's Well is in the same area as Marlfield Lake, so you might like to
visit both on the same day.
Distance from The Apple Farm, 9km.
