Mitchelstown is a
vibrant town located in North East County Cork. The town nestles in
the valley on the southern side of the Galtee Mountains and is
roughly 48km from Cork City and 36km from Limerick City. The Gradog
river runs by the town into the Funcheon river, which in turn is a
tributary of the nearby Blackwater river. Mitchelstown is located in
the heart of an area known as the “Golden Vale”, and is famous for
its cheese.
Mitchelstown has a unique 19th century townscape. There are two
attractive squares in the town, which were part of a formally laid
out plan for the town initiated by the Earls of Kingston between
1775 and 1820
The extensive local river network in the Mitchelstown area offers a
wide choice of game and coarse fishing. Riding tuition, trail tiding
and pony prekking are available at local equestrian centres.

town's doorstep. Ballyhoura Mountain Park and Doneraile Forest Park

with plenty of fresh air and splendid scenery.
