Ballingeary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballingeary (Irish: Béal Átha n'Ghaorthigh) is a village in the Shehy Mountains in County Cork, Ireland.

A Gaeltacht or Irish-speaking area, it is an important centre for Irish-language tuition, with an active summer school, Coláiste na Mumhan, or The College of Munster.

The River Lee rises a few miles west of the village, at Gougane Barra National Park.

An annual agricultural and horticultural show is held there every year.
