The Suir, pronounced 'sure', is one of the Three Sisters - three rivers that rise close to each other and flow into Waterford Harbour together. The Three Sisters are The Barrow, Nore and Suir.
Most of its length flows over limestone and that gives it a species rich environment that contributes to a pleasant environment for walking, water activities and fishing. The river itself is rich in trout and salmon, holding the record for a line caught river salmon in Ireland.
As well as the towns mentioned above, the Suir passes through rolling countryside, under old stone bridges and past ruined abbeys making it a great place for photography of many types.
Here in this image, this five-arch rubble stone bridge spanning the river from Tipperary into Waterford was built in 1740 and is still in use today as a road traffic bridge, having survived almost 300 years of floods.
