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 offera
wonderfulopportunity 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
Lake Diheen
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.
If you would like to advertise or list upcoming
events on our website, please feel free to contact
us.
As the extension to
our Community Centre moves closer to
completion, we look forward to happy
days where the needs of community and
visitors from far and wide will enjoy
top of the range facilities. This
new addition to our centre will enable existing clubs and societies
to continue their good endeavours, while
making space for new organisations to
come on board.
As Kilbehenny is
being promoted as the 'Gateway
to the Galtees', plans include
reception room and office, amenities for
hill walkers, including shower, changing
area, kitchen and lounge area.
New offices are also being put in place to
facilitate locals and the wider
community. A brand new
training centre will be available for IT
and various courses such as Safe Pass,
Defibrillator etc.
The project is funded
by EU Leader (Ballyhoura and South
Tipperary), Kilbehenny Community Hall
funds and of course, Voluntary Labour.
This funding covers all commitments made
to date.
Additional funding is
required to provide the necessary finish
to this phase of the development.
