It is located off the N20 road between Limerick / Cork and Mitchelstown. It is about 12km north of Mallow town.
The steeplechase originated in 1752 as a result of a race between the church steeples of the town and neighbouring Buttevant town.
Doneraile is also the home of a famous "Hedge Witch" named Bev Richardson, who is sometimes referred to by locals as the Wizard of Doneraile. Bev is originally from the Isle of Mann and as a child ran errands for Gerald Gardner who is often credited as the founder of Wicca.
