Ballingeary

Ballingeary (officially and in _ga. Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh) is a village in the Shehy Mountains in County Cork, Province of Munster, 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. Each term lasts for 3 weeks where students have fun, learn a bit of Irish and make friends.

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.
