Quartier

We live in one of the oldest suburbs of Cork city which is characterised by period houses and many large mature gardens and trees. Our house is surrounded by many public walking routes including a walk along the river Lee, on an old railway line which is now pedestrianised and a harbour walk leading to an old castle which now houses an observatory and a restaurant.

Our house is within short walking distance of key facilities including, a grocery shop, butcher shop, pharmacy, organic bakery and cafe, gourmet food shop, four pubs, a postoffice, a bank, a filling station and both Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. It is also on a bus route to the city centre, a trip which takes ten minutes.

Despite being a very mature neighbourhood it's population in recent years has moved toward young families with children. It is an extremely safe neighbourhood, which has a village like, friendy atmosphere.
