Clondulane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clondulane is a village in North Cork, Ireland 3.5m east of Fermoy town just off the Main Fermoy-Dungarvan Road. Originally built as a camp for the workers of a Cork Milling Company grain mill, the now has a population of over 200, however with 60 new houses being built in the immediate area, this is soon to rise dramatically. Unusually, there are three large houses of note in the village, Clondulane, Glendulane, and Careysville Houses, the latter being owned by the Duke of Devonshire and used as a lodging house during the salmon season. Along with two small housing estates and many stand alone dwellings there is a school, community centre, public house, playing fields, park and disused Railway station and factory and the remains of a Protestant church and graveyard.
