The Lee Valley describes the part of Cork County stretching from Gougane Barra in the west where the river Lee begins to Cork city, and including the catchment area of the Sullane.

It is an area dominated by its waterways and, since people congregated around rivers from earlier times, the Lee Valley and its catchment area is dotted with archaeological pre-Christian sites.

The many shrines and wells dedicated to St Finbarr, St Gobnait, St Lachtan, St Aban, St Michael and St Berrihert from the 7th and 8th centuries testify to strong traditions of pre-Christian religion in the area and the great sanctification work of the saints still venerated. The rich glacial valleys and lakes of the river Lee and its tributaries yield bountiful harvests. Though predominantly agricultural, the Lee has a proud tradition of technological innovation. One of the oldest horizontal mills in Ireland was discovered in Mashanaglass just beside the river Lee as it turns towards Carrigadrohid. The water of Bealick Mill was used to power the elctric street lighting in 1899, the first in Ireland to have such a facility.
