Kilbehenny, The Gateway to the Galtees 

 
 
 

 

Kilbehenny is a quiet village which nestles beneath the Galtee Mountains. It is unique in that it lies on the borders of three counties  Limerick, Cork and Tipperary.

The majestic Galtee Mountains, which offer a wonderful opportunity for hiking, are visited by thousands each year.   Explore woodland, observe mountain deer, various types of wildlife, and enjoy many forest walks.   Use Kilbehenny as the perfect starting point, and very soon Kilbehenny Community Centre, with its new extension, will have all the facilities climbers need.   More details later.  

There are five corrie lakes located on the northern slopes of the Galtees: Muskry, Farbraige, Borheen, Diheen and Curra.  These have a good stock of brown trout

The village itself is bounded by the small River Funcheon, and a little stream, the Behana, which flows into the Funcheon.


For a true taste of Irish life, we, the people of Kilbehenny, invite you to visit our Community Centre and join in with our traditional and local pastimes.
