What else ...
We live near the beautiful town of Clonakilty which is a very vibrant and colourful place with a great atmosphere in both day and night life with many shops, cafes, restaurants and great Irish pubs with much live music. From there is the main bus route to the city of Cork and other places. There is also Inchydoney beach in Clonakilty as well as Warren beach in nearby Rosscarbery, which are just a couple of the many stunning beaches around, you will think you are in Spain! Rosscarbery and its beaches are also situated on the amazing West Atlantic Way. The public transport around here can be a bit difficult to reach when on foot but some previous workawayers have had great experience hitch-hiking to and from many different places, however I can always drop you off in the nearby town for the bus when i'm heading in and out of town. Not only are the nearby towns and the city of Cork exciting and beautiful places to visit, but here right on our doorstep is beauty of the southwest Irish countryside. Here from our farm and home, you have the best of both worlds to explore.
