Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Our area is rural but within a stone's throw of the main road to the city or west to Killarney. Ballincollig is 5 minutes drive. Mostly commuters and farming communities live in the locality. The area has the best of both worlds but a car is a must.
Day trips to Killarney and the Cliffs of Moher are an option.
