Castlelyons (Template:Langx)[2] is a small village in the east of County Cork, Ireland. It is also a civil parish in the barony of Barrymore.[3] The name is derived from a stronghold of the Uí Liatháin - an early medieval kingdom. It is situated 6 km (3.7 mi) south of Fermoy. In the 2022 census the village recorded a population of 428.[1] Castlelyons is part of the Dáil constituency of Cork East.
There are two stone bridges that cross the River Bride into the village - one a small footbridge and the other a bridge which was part of the entrance into Barrymore Castle - the seat of the Earls of Barrymore. The parish has two churches at Bridesbridge and Coolagown, and also has a castle, two abbeys, a mausoleum, two holy wells, and many other historical sites.
