On the Cork-Kerry border at the foot of the Mullaghareirk Mountains, Ballydesmond has about 210 residents. The village was known as Kingwilliamstown until 1951, one of several Irish towns that shed British-era names after independence. The area's boggy uplands feed the upper reaches of the Blackwater and the Allow rivers. Dairy farming on the lower slopes gives way to rough grazing and forestry higher up.
Ballydesmond was the birthplace of the slide and polka sets that are central to Sliabh Luachra music, a tradition distinct from the neighbouring West Kerry and West Cork styles. Musicians like Dennis Murphy and Julia Clifford carried this tradition to wider recognition in the twentieth century. The landscape here is one of open mountain, scattered farmhouses, and narrow roads winding through heather and furze.
