Kildorrery is a typical crossroads village, situated at a very strategic point of the glacial valley between the Nagle Mountains of North Cork and the Ballyhoura Mountains of South Limerick.

Each June Kildorrery comes alive with the annual week long village summer festival. The festival provides games and entertainment for adults and children of all ages,and a great time on offer for all.

The Earl of Kingston of Mitchelstown, who included Kildorrery within his 100,000 acre estate, further developed Kildorrery in the early 19th century. In the documented history of the area around Kildorrery, the close neighbour Rockmills village once played a large part in the growth of the district. Formerly a thriving flourmill town consisting of over 40 houses, in 1800 the mill was one of the biggest operations of its kind in the South of Ireland.
