How to find us, travelling from Rosslare, Dublin or east of Cork City

All routes terminate at a very large traffic roundabout approximately 3 kilometers east of the city of Cork. The terminus is also the end of the motorway N25, and the start of the N8 which runs into the city center. If you do not wish to visit the city, avoid at all times, traffic is extremely heavy.

The traffic island is the junction of 4 major roads. The N8 northern approaches, the N8 city route from the east, the N25 eastern approaches, and the city ring road.
Take the Blackrock Tunnel sign due south and signposted N28 West Cork and South Ring.

Travel through the tunnel and on to the Kinsale Roundabout. Take the N28 exit and travel through 2 more roundabouts to a third and take the left turn signposted N71 and West Cork and Bandon.

Travel to Bandon, approximately 15 kilometers. On entering the 30 mph zone, travel to a traffic island and turn left onto the Bandon By Pass. Travel to the top of a hill, and a steep descent brings you to a “T” junction, turn right. Drive 200 meters to another “T” junction and turn left onto the N71.

The road widens and there are several car distributorships and garages. Look for a Maxol filling Station on the left, opposite is a Peugeot garage, filter left to a narrow road with terraced houses on the right and look for a finger signpost showing R602 and Timoleague. Turn left here and travel to Timoleague some 8 kilometers or so.

Approaching Timoleague there is a river bridge, cross over this and immediately after turn left. Travel in front of the old Abbey ruins and over a hump back junction, do not turn left, travel straight on past DAY TO DAY Supermarket and filling station to a signpost marked Barryroe, Butlerstown etc.

Travel some 5 kilometers to a crossroads. Travel on to Lislevane and on to Barryroe Supermarket and Creamery. Immediately after turn right to Butlerstown and 1 kilometer turn right into drive.
