Cloghroe is a small village on the northern slopes above Cork city, between Blarney and the Muskerry foothills. It sits just off the road that climbs from the Lee Valley into the hills. In the last two decades it's become a commuter settlement for Cork city, though the agricultural landscape still surrounds it.
Blarney is 4km west with all the tourist infrastructure. Cork city is 12km southeast. Cloghroe itself has a church and a school and quiet roads.
Off the R617 between Blarney and Tower. About 12km northwest of Cork city centre.
