Situated in a sheltered valley with the sound of water echoing all around, St Patrick’s Well, with its ruined church and cross in the center of the artificial lake, is a beautiful mix of ancient heritage and modern landscaping. It lies just north of Marlfield village, near Clonmel.

​It is said that St Patrick and St Declan first met at this tranquil site 1,600 years ago. Patrick was journeying south to confront the pagan King of the Déise and Declan feared that Patrick would curse his people. The two holy men resolved their differences and the site was given to Patrick to mark the new friendship.

The well is said to obtain healing properties, specifically for skin diseases and stomach illnesses. You can obtain these healing properties by putting your feet into the water.
