Cheekpoint is a pleasant fishing village, set on a headland above the confluence of the Suir, and Barrow rivers. There are very pleasant walks in the area, notably along the Suir, south of the village and up Minawn Hill to Faithlegg Forest, which commands wonderful views of the two rivers and the estuary. There are extensive forest walks through Sitka spruce, noble fir and some Japanese larch. Rhododendron can be seen among the bracken and bramble. Guests include many species of song birds, as well as the ubiquitous rabbit, fox and badger. There is a scenic car park and a picnic site in this Coillte managed wood. Along the shore at Cheekpoint anglers can bottom fish for flounder and dogfish. Codling and coalfish are rewarding in the winter.
