About Ballingeary (Béal Átha an Ghaorthaidh)

The village connects via the R584, reached from Cork city through Macroom then 23 kilometers southwest on winding country roads. It's the heart of the Irish-speaking cultural circuit with Coolea and Ballyvourney nearby, and makes a good base for exploring towards Glengarriff and the Ring of Beara.
