Glounthaune is a small commuter settlement on the northern shore of Cork Harbour, about 10km east of Cork city. It has a station on the Cork-Cobh rail line, which makes it popular with people who work in the city and want harbour views without Cobh prices.
The village itself is quiet — a few roads of houses above the waterline, good access to the harbour shore. Little Rock and Fota Island are nearby. The train is the main event: 20 minutes to Cork Kent station, multiple times a day.
Off the R624, 10km east of Cork city via the N25.
Cork-Cobh commuter rail stops here. Around 20 minutes to Cork city.
