NEW LINGAUN BUS SERVICE 

THE LINGAUN LOOP

Lingaun Valley is to get its own loop bus service this summer!  Visitors to Kilkenny, Waterford and Clonmel will be able to visit our beautiful villages, ancient sites, and superb walking trails using available public transport.  

Members of the local community will have access to neighbouring villages and connections to bigger towns.  

The service will operate free-of-charge, seven days a week. No booking required. 

*This is a pilot bus service operated by Ring-a-Link and supported by Kilkenny Leader Partnership. The service will operate from June to September. It is an action research project, funded under Ireland’s CAP Strategic Plan 2023-2027
