Glenville (Irish: Gleann an Phréacháin)[2] is a village and townland in County Cork, Ireland.

[3] This area contains some unique habitats, flora and fauna, including the Small Cudweed and the Sand Martin, a migratory species that return from North Africa each spring to breed in the porous sand cliffs along sections of the river valley.

[citation needed] Glenville contains a number of sites of historical interest including a famine walk and a mass rock dating to penal times.

The Owenbawn River, which flows through the village to the south, is spanned by a bridge which dates to the 1790s.

[5] The village's Roman Catholic church is dedicated to Saint Joseph and was built c.1890.
