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.

We were delighted to welcome Fairyhouse members on tour in September 2023 for a Minella Racing Experience. Members enjoyed on overnight stay in the Hotel and an evenings racing at Clonmel Racecourse and a visit to Minella Racing Stables the next morning, where they saw Cristal Clere, Minella Mate and many more up and coming Minella Champions. They had a tour of Minella Racing stables and were introduced to the Minella Racing Team by Corky Carroll. Their visit was topped off by Sean D Bowen winning on Minella Sideways for Timothy Doyle, A True Tipperary Winner. The group gave a tremendous welcome to Sean in the bar after the races.
