Knockanore
Knockanore is a rural village in County Waterford, situated approximately 9 miles (15 km) from neighbouring towns Youghal ( County Cork) and Tallow (also in County Waterford).
The name itself is derived from the Irish Cnoc an Fhómhair, or Cnoc an Óir, which translates as "The Hill of Autumn/Gold", an ode to the many yellow furze bushes which once were plentiful in the area. Today, the village and the surrounding parish serves agricultural purposes primarily and a significant percentage of local families have some connection with agriculture in Knockanore. It is a very ancient parish, being formerly known as the parishes of Kilcockan, Kilwatermoy and Templemichael. Knockanore is also situated on a designated scenic routeway.
