🔊 Listen to this Post Midleton (Irish: Mainistir na Corann, meaning “monastery at the weir”) is a town in south-eastern County Cork, Ireland. It lies approximately 16 km east of Cork City on the Owenacurra River and the N25 road, which connects Cork to the port of Rosslare. A satellite town of Cork City, Midleton is part of Metropolitan Cork. It is the central hub of business for the East Cork Area. The town is in the civil parish of Middleton. Midleton is within the Cork East Dáil constituency.

Local employers include retail, light manufacturing, food production, tourism and whiskey distilling industries. At nearby Whitegate is the state’s first gas-fired power station as well as Ireland’s only oil refinery. Many Midleton residents also commute to jobs in Cork city, Carrigtwohill or Little Island.

Traditionally the main commercial and retail area of the town was on Main Street and this continues to provide shopping – primarily with local ownership. The commercial part of Midleton has also expanded to the old site of Midleton Mart, now called Market Green. A number of large retailers have outlets in Midleton, including Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and Supervalu. The Market Green shopping centre, opened in 2005 and containing a cinema, is located at the northern end of the town. The Midleton Farmers’ Market is held on Saturdays.

Midleton is also the home of the Old Midleton Distillery, a tourist attraction which includes the largest pot-still in the world.
