The town of Tallow is in the most westerly part of County Waterford set deep in a valley on the Blackwater Valley Scenic Drive.
Above nearby Tallowbridge is Tallow Hill, a superb vantage point presenting panoramic views of the Blackwater Valley on one side and the Bride Valley on the other. The area is bounded on the south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north by the Knockmealdown Mountains, on the east by the rest of county Waterford and on the west by the County of Cork.
Tallow is 9km from Lismore, 20km from Youghal, Midleton and Fermoy. The cities of Waterford and Cork are just 80km and 60km away respectively. Tallow's main streets are Chapel Street, Barrack Street, West Street and Convent Street. Local castles at Lisfinney, Aghern, Mocollop, Dromana and Mogeely were built by the Earls of Desmond between 1460 and 1464.
