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.

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.
