Rhododendron Walking Festival – Places to Stay
This is a selection of accommodation available in fairly close proximity to the areas in which the Rhododendron Walking Festival takes place. These should not be taken as recommendations, they are merely for the convenience of those wishing to stay in the area during the festival. Clogheen, Goatenbridge and Newcastle are located along the foothills of the Knockmealdowns. Cahir is across the valley at the foot of the Galty Mountain range. If you are travelling to the festival from the north, then exiting at Junction 10 (Cahir) on the M8 is the easiest point of access. Travelling from the south, exiting at M8 Junction 12 (Mitchelstown) is the most direct route.
