Ballydesmond perches in the hills between Cork and Kerry counties, connected by the R577 that runs east-west through town. From Cork city it's about 65 kilometers via the N20 through Mallow and Kanturk, while Kerry drivers come up through Castleisland on local roads. The town sits in the Blackwater Valley with the Derrynasaggart Mountains nearby, making it a handy stop for those touring southwestern Ireland. Each August, Ballydesmond comes alive with a vintage car rally that brings classic automobile enthusiasts from all over Ireland.
