The area and getting around

A gorgeous town next to fabulous beaches

Clonakilty is just 25 miles from the centre of Cork and just over half an hour’s drive from Cork airport. The town itself has huge charm and character, and just a few minutes’ drive away you’ll find exceptional beaches and stunning headlands. Don’t miss the walk along the Clonakilty coast with the momentous views over the waves to one side and the beautiful countryside to the other. Clonakilty is packed with Irish history, both modern and ancient.

A town of great character

The buildings and shops on the main town streets are famous for their delightful, bright colours – a real life picture postcard! The pretty colours create a fabulous backdrop to the farmer’s market held every Friday, where local producers and artisans sell their wares. That’s not the only social event in Clonakilty’s calendar. Notable dates include September, when the Clonakilty International Guitar Festival takes place, and December, which brings the Clonakilty Waterfront Marathon.

Travellers and activities

Clonakilty for Irish history lovers

Modern history runs strong through the streets of Clonakilty, as the town was home to the Irish Revolutionary leader Michael Collins, who led the struggle to independence for Ireland against the British and is an exceptionally important man in Ireland’s story. You’ll find Collins’ birthplace just west of the town, together with some information boards on his importance to modern-day Ireland. More information is available at the Michael Collins Centre, a museum dedicated to Collins’ life and work, presented in audio visual displays and live lectures. The centre is a small, family run enterprise with hugely knowledgeable guides.

Clonakilty for lovers of the outdoors

There are few areas of Ireland with coastlines quite as beautiful as Clonakilty. Hikers will revel in the calm and reflective space and the miles and miles of trails through enchanting countryside and over sand dunes. The sandy Inchydoney beach is great for beginner surfing, as well as being extremely safe for children with its gentle slope into the sea. Red Sand beach has bigger surfing waves, and the views across the peninsula to the lighthouse beyond are alone worth the trip. For those who like to travel on two wheels, check out the mountain biking trails in and around Clonakilty for off-road trails through paradise.

Clonakilty in Irish is Cloich na Coillte, meaning stone in the forest – a reference to the castle which once stood here.
