Charleville is a lively market town located in the north of County Cork, near the border with Limerick. It lies within the romantically named Golden Vale, a large area of rich green pasture that's said to include the finest dairy-farming land in all Ireland. Indeed, Charleville is a major processing centre of milk and cheese products, and visitor farms have been becoming increasingly popular in the surrounding countryside. Guests staying in the town itself will enjoy a blend of lovely old buildings and modern facilities, with good shopping, friendly pubs, a variety of restaurants and an appreciation of theatre: Charleville hosts the acclaimed North Cork Drama Festival every spring. Sports are popular too around these parts, especially fishing, riding, mountain biking and hill-walking, and golfers will thrill to the challenges of Charleville Golf Club. The 27-hole course is thickly wooded and beautifully located in the foothills of the Ballyhoura Mountains. Meanwhile, visitors to the Ballyhoura Mountain Park will find plenty to do amid the dramatic slopes, forests, bogs and moors, from bird-watching and nature walks to fitness trails and orienteering. Charleville is within half an hour's drive of Limerick city, and not too much further from Cork city.
