Glasheen is a quiet residential suburb on the south side of Cork city, between University College Cork and the Lough nature reserve. It's the kind of address that says 'south-side, near the university' — which in Cork has its own particular resonance.
There's no reason to come here as a visitor. The Lough is a 10-minute walk and worth it for the birdlife. UCC's campus is beautiful and open. Cork city centre is 2km north.
South Cork city, off the Glasheen Road. Well connected by city bus.
Multiple Cork city routes serve the area. Close to UCC's main bus stops.
