    Hi metalgear2k2, first of all best of luck with the move. I think you've picked a lovely village to move to, i'm not from there but not too far away either so i would know a bit about it. It is a quiet enough spot, four pubs, two shops, two hairdressers, church, school, hall, gaa field but your only a few miles from bigger towns of Fermoy and Mitchelstown.

    as my username might suggest, I know a bit about this place,
    Nice village, 4 pubs, 3 lively enough at the weekends, go to each one on a Friday/Sat night and you will get a good enough idea of which one is for you. There is normally something going on in one of them at the weekend which might be of interest. You will meet lots of interesting people;) but you will figure them out in time!

    GAA is pretty strong in the area, male and female so if that is your interest you will do fine here! There is a soccer club and darts in big enough in the bars too. So are fishing and bowls

    Its pretty quite during the days...

    Your only 40 mins from the Cork City centre and as said ten mins from Fermoy and Mitchelstown. Any Qs ask back or PM me...

    I have cousins living in Glanworth. Absolutely lovely place, have always loved going there over the years. Nice, quiet little village. Might not be the most happening place on earth (which is exactly what I would personally want if I bought a house somewhere!) but you have Fermoy and Mitchelstown nearby if you fancy something a bit more lively. Good luck with the move! :)

    It is a nice spot all right, I love the old bridge, castle and abbey there.
