Welcome to Ballyhoura
Situated in the southwest region of Ireland, on the borders of counties Limerick, Tipperary
and Cork, Ballyhoura Country is an area of undulating green pastures, woodlands, hills and
mountains.
The area is free from the crowds so often find elsewhere, of course it has vibrant towns
and villages, but Ballyhoura Country is the perfect place to get off the beaten track,
take a magical mystery tour and discover rural Ireland.
If the ancient and unspoilt landscapes don’t seduce you, then an abundance of significant
heritage sites, thrilling outdoor recreational activities and the friendly people you’re
certain to meet on your visit through the area, just might.
A thriving rural community, ever resourceful and welcoming, Ballyhoura Country is a most
sociable place to stopover. Visiting the area you’ll no doubt make some new friends,
certainly learn more about the area, experience local life and become part of the
community should you so wish.
Whether you prefer a quiet walk through scenic woodland, an exhilarating quad bike ride, or
a relaxing game of golf, Ballyhoura Country offers a huge range of outdoor activities. Watch
wildlife up close, horseback ride along corrie lakes, canoe, rock climb or fly-fish
through some of Irelands loveliest landscapes. There’s plenty to be done all interspersed
with cultural encounters and gourmet surprises.
And don't forget ancient Irish heritage! If a heritage experience is in your plans, then
discover past cultures with every step that you take, learn how prehistoric man farmed
the shores of Lough Gur, the medieval walled town of Kilmallock was fortified or view the
magnificent Doneraile Court listening to its fascinating history. Discover De Valera,
Galbally, Crossroads Dancing and much more! Experience living cultures with a trip to
the agricultural mart, the hunt, a hurling game or an evening of road bowling.
