About Buttevant
Buttevant is a small, historic market town in north County Cork, positioned between Mallow and Charleville along the N20 corridor. It has a settled, community-oriented character, with a mix of older town-centre homes, newer housing and surrounding rural farmland.

Families are served by local primary and secondary education, with further schools and colleges accessible by road or bus. Bus Éireann services provide connections along the Cork–Limerick route, and the N20 makes commuting by car relatively straightforward, although Buttevant does not have its own railway station.

The town’s historic heritage includes Buttevant Franciscan Friary and the remains of the medieval walled settlement, while Doneraile Park and the Ballyhoura area provide attractive nearby options for walking and outdoor recreation.
