The Nore rises on the eastern slopes of the [[Devil's Bit Mountain]] in the [[townland]] of [[Borrisnoe]], [[County Tipperary]]. It then flows south-eastwards to [[County Laois]] and [[County Kilkenny]] before joining the [[River Barrow]] just north of [[New Ross]] near the [[Barrow Bridge]].<ref name="Hughes1863">{{Harvnb|Hughes|1863}}.</ref> The river passes near [[Durrow, County Laois]] then through [[Ballyragget]], the city of [[Kilkenny]] and then the villages of [[Bennettsbridge]] and [[Thomastown, County Kilkenny|Thomastown]]. Further south, it forms a picturesque V-shaped river valley, particularly notable near the village of [[Inistioge]], the [[tidal limit]]. Major tributaries of the Nore include the [[River Dinan|Dinan]], the Breagagh at [[Kilkenny|Kilkenny City]], the [[Kings River (Ireland)|King's River]], the Little Arrigle and the Black Water.
