3About Blackwater
Blackwater sits along the N72 in County Cork, where the river winds through fertile valley farmland. Most visitors arrive via the N72 from Cork city (45 kilometers) or Mallow (7 kilometers east), though the R619 from Buttevant offers a quieter alternative through rolling countryside. From Dublin, take the M8 to Mallow then follow the N72 west for about 250 kilometers total. The town's crowning feature is its magnificent 19th-century stone railway viaduct with multiple arches that towers over the Blackwater River.
