Ardmore (Irish: Aird Mhór, meaning 'great height')[2] is a seaside resort and fishing village in County Waterford, Ireland, not far from Youghal on the south coast of Ireland. As of the 2016 census, it had a population of over 430[1] - though this increases in the tourist season. It is believed to be the oldest Christian settlement in Ireland. According to tradition, Saint Declan lived in the region in the early 5th century, and Christianised the area before the coming of Saint Patrick.
In September 2014, Ardmore was included on a shortlist of Ireland's top tourist towns composed by Fáilte Ireland.[3] It is home to the Michelin-starred restaurant, The House, at the Cliff House Hotel.
