Rising on the slopes of Devil's Bit Mountain, just north of Templemore in County Tipperary, the Suir flows south through Loughmore, Thurles, Holycross, Golden and Knockgraffon. Merging with the River Aherlow at Kilmoyler and further on with the Tar, it turns east at the Comeragh Mountains, forming the border between County Waterford and County Tipperary. It then passes through Cahir, Clonmel and Carrick-on-Suir before reaching Waterford. Together with the Nore and the Barrow, the river is one of the trio known as The Three Sisters. In Clonmel, the Suir floods the local area after very heavy rainfalls falling in the up river catchment of 2,173km2.
