Introducing Midleton & Around
Most visitors sweep through the Midleton area on their way to the Old Midleton Distillery but it’s worth a bit more of your time. Rather ambitiously named the ‘Irish Riviera’ by the tourist board, it’s nonetheless full of pretty villages, craggy coastline and some heavenly rural hotels. Midleton itself is a pleasant and bustling market town though with plenty of accommodation in the surrounding area, there’s no real reason to stay here.

The tourist office (461 3702; www.eastcorktourism.com ; 9.30am-1pm & 2-5.15pm Mon-Sat May-Sep) is by the entrance gate to the distillery.
