Glounthaune

Ireland

Glounthaune sits along the Lee estuary about 15 kilometres east of Cork city, where gentle hills meet Cork Harbour's widening waters. The N25 connects it directly to Cork and Waterford, while drivers from Dublin take the M8 south before joining the N25 eastbound. Cork Airport is just 10 kilometres northeast on local roads. Many residents commute daily to employment centres on Little Island, and the town enjoys the rare distinction of having a railway station on the Cork to Dublin mainline, offering direct intercity service to the capital.
