Meelin is a small village in the north Cork uplands, close to the border with Limerick. The Mullaghareirk Mountains rise immediately to the north. It's remote by Cork standards — Newmarket is 12km south, and the roads between are narrow and usually empty.
The area has a traditional music presence tied to the Sliabh Luachra cultural region that runs across the Cork-Kerry-Limerick borders — polkas and slides rather than reels. There's no regular session to speak of in the village, but the tradition is real and nearby. Newmarket is your base for services.
North of Newmarket on the R576 and minor roads. About 12km from Newmarket.
