About Crossbarry

Crossbarry sits on the N71 about 20 kilometers southwest of Cork city, serving as a handy gateway to West Cork's coastal towns like Bandon and Clonakilty. Most visitors arrive via the N71 from Cork through Ballincollig, while locals often use the R589 from Ballinhassig or connect from Bandon. The village sits amid typical Cork farmland with good electric vehicle charging options for the onward journey west. Crossbarry is famous for the 1921 ambush when Tom Barry's IRA forces engaged British troops in a major War of Independence battle, now marked by a prominent monument in the village center.
