Rockchapel

Ireland

Rockchapel is a small village in north Cork near the Kerry border, positioned where the Blackwater River meanders through rolling farmland. The village sits on the R577, roughly 45 kilometres from Cork city via the N20 through Mallow, or 35 kilometres from Killarney through Castleisland. Stone walls and hedgerows line the winding back roads typical of this countryside. Electric vehicle drivers should plan charging stops in larger towns like Castleisland or Newmarket, as only about 5 fast chargers serve the broader area. The village takes its name from the rock outcrop where Saint Bartholomew's Church was built in 1818.
