River Clodiagh

(Redirected from Clodiagh River)

The River Clodiagh (Irish: An Chlóideach) is a small river which rises in Lough Coumduala in the Comeragh Mountains in north County Waterford.[1] (It should not be confused with the River Clodiagh in County Kilkenny.) It flows through the villages of Rathgormack, Clonea-Power and Portlaw before joining the River Suir just outside Portlaw.[2] The river is fed by a number of smaller tributaries including Hunts stream and Aughtnawilliam stream.
