Built on the north shore of Cork Harbour, an estuary of the River Lee, Glounthaune is a thriving village rich in history. Originally built as a commuter town between Cork City and East Cork, Glounthaune has since become one of the most desirable residential addresses in the city.
The serene village is framed by native cedar trees, conifers and the estuary of the River Lee, offering a tranquil and peaceful lifestyle. It is home to Harper’s Island wetland, a nature reserve and refuge for local and international birds, and is a local hotspot for nature walks and bird watching.
Glounthaune offers residents a contemporary lifestyle, perfectly harmonising suburban and city living. Locals and visitors to the village can enjoy freshly baked goods from the famous Fitzpatricks Foodstore, while two local eateries; The Elm Tree and The Rising Tide offer delectable meals using locally sourced ingredients.
Glounthaune also benefits from a well developed transport network made up of direct rail and road routes to the thriving Cork City (15 mins) and surrounding areas.
